My first experience of Dog’s Trust was when I first visited the Kenilworth and fell in love with a 4 year old Bull Mastiff x Rhodesian Ridgeback called Primrose.
Since adopting her on the 4th September 2011, Primrose has proved to be a complete dream to own. It really does show that if you give a Rescue dog the stable and loving home environment that it so truly deserves, it will most definitely repay you with a loving, loyal companion who supplies you with endless amounts of fun and a constant smile! I also have Primrose to thank for the dream job that I have now – if I’d have never visited Kenilworth centre that day, I would never have found out about the new site they were building in Loughborough.
It really is true what they say about a dog being for life. Owning a dog isn’t just about giving a dog a home to live in! It’s about friendship and communication and giving you something to wake up for each morning. I can honestly say that since adopting Primrose I’ve had some of the most enjoyable times of my life - with many, many more to come!
I was drinking coffee with Abby yesterday and the postman arrived. Elsie clambered on to the large basket by the window whilst Abby dealt with the post. Then, Abby encouraged Elsie to jump into her arms. Usually Elsie is picked up and swirled round, but this jump required Elsie to trust her mother to catch her before being whirled through the air. By the time I had my camera ready they were on jump 2 or 3 . . . there were about 8 in all. This little series is of the moments in between the jumps
A National Trust visit to Knightshayes near Tiverton in Devon.
Knightshayes Court is a Victorian country house near Tiverton, Devon, England, designed by William Burges for the Heathcoat-Amory family. Nikolaus Pevsner describes it as "an eloquent expression of High Victorian ideals in a country house of moderate size." The house is Grade I listed. The gardens are Grade II* listed in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens.
Benjamin Dickinson, a wealthy merchant, banker, and mayor of Tiverton, built the first mansion at Knightshayes between 1785 and 1788. His great-grandson, Sir John Walrond, 1st Baronet, sold the Knightshayes estate to Sir John Heathcoat-Amory, 1st Baronet in 1868. The Heathcoat-Amory family, who had established their wealth from lace production, owned much of the manufacturing and land around Tiverton, and Heathcoat-Amory chose the site of Knightshayes, because of its view of his distant factory, nestled in the Exe valley below. He demolished the Dickinson house and built a new mansion slightly above it, which survives today.

A look around Knightshayes Court, on the ground floor only. I don't think the upper floors were open at the time. You are free to take photos inside, but with no flash of course (not that I use flash).

On Sunday 24th June 2012 members of the Battlefields Trust attended a study day at the Bosworth Battlefield Heritage Centre. Following the chance to look round the Heritage Centre, we joined Mike Ingram for a walk over the battlefield where we heard some of the new theories about the battle which have arisen from the remarkable archaeological finds which have been made in recent years.
We finished with a book signing of Mike’s new book, 'Bosworth 1485'.
More details of the Battle of Bosworth on 22nd August 1485 can be seen on the following link to the Battlefields Trust Resource Centre.

St Nicholas, Littleborough, Nottinghamshire.
Churches Conservation Trust.
Grade l listed.
This tiny Norman church lies down a quiet country lane, close to the Trent. It stands near the site of an old Roman fort - they built a military station here by the stone causeway across the river, both now long gone. Roman brick and tile have been used in its walls recalling the empire that brought its civilisation to England almost two thousand years ago.

Our middle cat, TJ must be the most curious feline on the planet. He investigates everything, and wants to see firsthand whatever is going on in our house. He's a good companion to me and my husband, and follows us around and asks to see and smell anything we touch. But when it comes to other people, TJ has no interest. He positively hates when we have guests in our home. He instantly runs and hides and stays hidden until the guests leave, no matter how long that takes. As soon as they are gone, TJ reappears as if nothing has happened.
Except for Bert. Our friend Bert has this mysterious relationship with TJ that no other human besides my husband and I have ever experienced. TJ simply loves Bert, and trusts Bert to be gentle with him and give him quality loving when he visits us.
I captured these pics of Bert and TJ in our hallway on New Year's Eve. TJ had been hiding under the guest room bed, but when he realized it was Bert in the hallway, he came out to greet him and rub his legs, as if to say "Long time no see, buddy!". And I just had to capture the special moment with my camera.
