hey !

miss w. dixon in the park yesterday morning

hey ! there's a ship stuck in the harbour. Let's go check it out Miss D.

The park at the end of Black Street is about 50 steps from our front door, it's the big green space that runs along the edge of our little harbour. It's filled with mature shade trees, picnic tables and benches and the just opened for the season ice cream parlour is across the street. It's the most perfect place to sit on the grass with your best loved girl and watch the big ships come and go, the absolute best spot to rub and roll and grind your shaggy black body into green, green grass that smells of summer days or to watch the sun set each evening over the outer harbour and open water. We have a perfect view of this park and of the harbour from our second floor windows. Les office/studio and the Teak Topped Desk. This time of year when all of our windows are wide open, we hear the ships arriving much before we ever see them ... before they glide by our windows so close it feels like we could touch them.

Miss D's leg is slowly getting better. The lengths of our walks unfortunately have been severely curtailed. I'm so careful that she doesn't over do it - as dogs are so want to do. She needs a little help from me climbing the stairs but she's already putting a little weight on that foot and that's a very good sign.

The ship managed to float away on the highest tide later yesterday afternoon.
