Oakhanger for a beer festival, leads to a good week of catching up with friends from the area. We look after two lovely dogs, and a third dog that decides at times to call in! From Oakhanger I do a quick house sit back at the flower farm near Andover, before a few more days…

From Hook, we’ve got a job in the New Forest to do, which involves the installation of a security camera system. The work goes reasonably well, despite some issues with a supplier. The customer offers us the use of their London flat, so we take the opportunity to visit the city, and take in a…

From Tunbridge Wells, we make a detour through the New Forest, Alton, Windsor, Shaftesbury, Cornwall and, Devon to our next two house sits in Hook and Shropshire. The detours serve a great purpose to see a few friends, do some work, and celebrate my upcoming birthday with some friends watching the Solar eclipse and UK…

It’s been a year since we got married, and our first anniversary finds us near Tunbridge Wells at a beautiful house, with a swimming pool and out door bar – I know! With the heatwaves still visiting the United Kingdom, we’ve struck gold with this sit. The dogs are chilled, the cats – we could…

From North Shian, Annabel and I hade a split sit. I headed to Leeds, while Annabel stayed in Dunbar to look after the shop. The sit for me was poles apart from North Shian, and it is difficult to say it was comfortable in the flat where I had two cats to long after. However,…

For this post we are back around Appin sitting some dogs and a cat for two relatives. Unlike last time we were here, this is much more about work and looking after the animals, however that has not stopped us from using the sunny weather and down time to enjoy ourselves. During the two weeks…

During the few weeks since the bereavement, we’ve spent time catching up, and had a short dog sit in Leyburn. Thursday 21st May was the funeral, which was a reflective, peaceful day and following this we’ve spent some time with the family. On the Friday, flowers were laid at Skateraw, and a small barbeque held…

First post in a while, as we’ve been mainly visiting old haunts due to circumstances around our families. However, 8th May was an opportunity for a new walk along the coast from Musselburgh to Leith, before catching a train down to North Berwick. The stretch of coastline from Musselburgh to Leith would be difficult to…

A call to do a job in Cornwall, meant an opportunity to return to a holiday cottage we had visited before over looking Talland Bay. This was a welcome chance to catch up with friends and use a wedding present to visit the Camel Valley where they produce sparkling wines. We started the main visit…

A quick catch up post. Not a lot happening on our travels at this point, apart from having a perfect house sit over looking the Firth of Forth, from the most wonderful house, with the easiest of dogs, called Crumble. This sit is a total delight, with plenty of space to work, large areas to…
