Here's me reading our copy to Momma G... Toby is in the back printing more, as it's already sold out on Amazon and in some big bookshops!
Don't worry, more will be available very soon! ☺️
(Hurry up Toby...!)

Momma G managed 2 and a half weeks without us, but she finally made it here last night! Happy tears were in abundance (not from me - I ignored her until she got the carrots out!)
Mrs Farmer's 8 years old daughter had made her a lovely card which Taz thought looked delicious! 😋

We had a stroll around our barn while my Fave Human fluffed pillows, and just happened to find the hay bales! 😋

Umm... Taz, you seem to have a tiny bit of something behind your ear... (And that's putting it politely!) 🤭

There was more snow overnight, and Toby's put on his raincoat in case he's expected to do anything more than eat his breakfast and look cute...
Don't worry Toby; I'm sure we can arrange a duvet day once room-service has finished!

It's a miserable rainy day (they all are at the moment ☔) so my Fave Human didn't take any photos. Instead here's a lovely picture of me from 3 years ago, when I enjoyed a nap! It was raining that day too! ☔

Taz took my Fave Human out for a bimble, while we stayed behind and snacked on his haynet! 😋

Pals! We had snow overnight! ❄️☃️
Thankfully my Fave Human managed to drive here in Momma G's little jeepy thing (affectionately known as Jimny Hendrix!) otherwise we could have starved!
And Toby's smug that we're on our patio instead of looking for grass in the field! 😏

Yesterday was the first sunshiny day in eleventy billion years, so my Fave Human sneaked us into The Paddock That Must Not Be Grazed Because We'll Need The Grass For Summer. (That's its real name!)
Here we are looking innocent (except for muddy toes!) after filling our tummies!

Taz seems to have struck up an odd friendship with these half grown cows... And seems to be chewing on the black one! She doesn't seem to mind, and has been known to give him a sloppy lick now and again!

I was on #FunUncle duty again this morning, so I tried teaching Stellar the Nippy Lip game! She's a quick learner, so she'll get the hang of it soon! 😃

It's a miserable wet day so we're all on the patio while room service sorts out our bedrooms. Stellar wants to mess with Toby, who's a bit overwhelmed by her, so I'm stepping in to keep her entertained!

We had a surprise delivery today - Momma G's bought us new raincoats from the proceeds of her book! We got a big tub of treats too! 😋
To be fair we're more excited about the treats, but at least we'll stay dry and cosy on wet days!

We took my Fave Human for a stroll up the road so we could eat some grass in an empty field! Look how well I'm walking; being unmuddy is doing me a world of good!
In other news, Momma G's surgery went well, she's home and thanks everyone for the lovely messages! 💖

We might be a bit quiet for a few days, as Momma G goes for a new hip tomorrow, and it's her phone that we use for our posts!
Here she is giving us a pre-operation carrot - don't worry, Taz had already had his!
We won't be away for long, you'll see! 👋😊

It's a bit drizzly here at Humbug Hall, and Taz thinks it looks like a good day for a lie in! Good luck with that pal, she'll be here any minute to fling poo at the wheelbarrow! 🙄

Every flake of snow has disappeared overnight! It's very odd - one minute we're up to our knees in the white stuff, the next minute it's warm and breezy!
Anyhoo we're having our morning constitutional on the patio and contemplating escapes! ☺️

Awfully awful weather here pals! Sleet, snow, heavy rain, blustery wind... We've got the lot! Anyhoo Taz and Bess went out for a leg stretch while room service was in full swing, but they broke through the fence and brought themselves back in! 😂
