We enjoyed a pleasant morning with Louisa and her Cockapoos, Geri and Coco.
After lunch my daughter and I took the dogs on a forest drive.
The first stop was on Wootton Common.
Louisa photographed me venturing to cross the road to join them,
where they enjoyed splashing in the sodden pools.
Louisa parked the car beside the stream at Holmsley Passage and took her pets for a walk across the moorland and back.
I remained beside the car and focussed on the stream and on the landscape.
Coco kept me company on our return home.
Later this afternoon Helen and Bill joined us for more convivial conversation.
Elizabeth joined us for dinner which consisted of Jackie’s wholesome chicken stewp with focaccia brought by Louisa. I drank more of the Shiraz and my sister drank FeeDamm non-alcoholic lager.
Your daughter’s dogs are so adorable, Derrick! The moor looks inviting, a good place for a long walk. Wonderful photos! ❤️😍
The Cockapoos look similar to Frankie and they’re a lovely colour, and I’m sure they would have the same cuddly and friendly nature , Derrick… 🐶
Wonderful photos. Wishing you much success with WhatsApp! ♡
Thank you very much, Donna
I especially like the photo of you and Coco in the car. It looks like a lovely visit and day!
Thank you very much, Merril
A very fine pair in the car on the way home. I must say though, that with the best will in the world, I find it hard to take any animal called a cockapoo seriously.
Quite, Tootlepedal. Thanks very much
I love the profile photo of you and Coco!
Thank you very much, Liz
You’re welcome, Derrick.
I was thinking the same thing! Looking good, Derrick – it’s great to get out, too 🙂
Thanks very much, Barbara
If the WhatsApp is for a family group, I think you’ll enjoy it. Glad you got to have some “dog therapy” as David calls it.
Thank you very much, JoAnna
So nice to see your photos Derrick. Lovely dog…Coco!
Thank you very much, Arlene
I agree with JoAnna: a family WhatsApp group is marvellous! I have enjoyed seeing you all out and about – there certainly seems to be a lot of water around.
Thanks very much, Anne
Aw! What sweet family spending time with you…Geri, Coco, AND Louisa!
❤️❤️❤️ Then to have Helen and Bill join in! Sweet! ❤️❤️
(((HUGS))) for all!!! 🙂
Thank you so much, Carolyn XX
What a great day!
Thanks very much, GP

Thank you very much, Sherry
Your photos are lovely and I especially like the one of you and Coco in the car.

Hi Derrick, these are terrific photographs.
Thank you very much, Robbie
Mmmm – dinner sounds delish! Glad you had such good furry company, Derrick!
Thank you very much, Jan
Oh, Happy Day!
Yes. Thank you very much, Rosaliene
Geri and Coco look like they very much enjoyed their visit to the forest. I bet there was a towel ready to dry them off after their splashing about. 🙂
There was, indeed, Lavinia. Thanks very much
Those cockapoos look so cute
Thank you very much, Sheree
What a lovely afternoon. I love the Cockapoos such a pretty pair.
Thank you very much, Sue
What a magic photo: the one with you and your canine friend. What had you both spotted?
Just the road ahead, I think. Thanks a lot, John
Oh my God, those dogs are adorable! What a charming post. And it sounds as though everyone had a jolly good day.
We did, Laurie. Thank you very much
