A quick tale of my latest adventure in an extremely wet Dordogne…🌧Anyone that has followed us for long enough will know that whenever Ian is away, and I’m home alone in haphazard charge, then some incident, disastrous or funny usually occurs…of course this time has been no exception! 😂
It was the weather that brought about the latest crisis for me as it seems Ian took the sunshine away with him and left behind high winds and torrential rain!! It’s been a super fun week slogging through mud and driving rain to keep the animals cleaned, fed and out of the worst of the weather…choice words have been uttered as I push endless barrows full of p**p round to the poo pile whilst sloshing through mud and getting repeatedly stuck…I mean we lived in Scotland for 12 years, mud and rain were second nature but it seems I have become soft in the usually much more temperate Dordogne and definitely do not have enough pairs of waterproof trousers or gloves and coats. Wellies are a whole other issue as well as I only have these stupid short things which are not woman enough for these extremes! The goats hate rain so they stay indoors all day punishing me, because, obviously, the rain is my fault. 😂 A constant supply of hay is demanded with plaintive bleats and to relieve the tedium of being confined they amuse themselves by peeing in their just cleaned stalls…Maisie actually watched me finish cleaning her stall around her because, of course, they can’t make it easy for me by moving aside and then promptly let out a stream of p**s that a racehorse would have been proud of!! Arthur goat looked impressed by this behaviour and I saw a nod of respect towards the newcomer…maybe he will warm up to her a bit now that she's shown her lack of respect for me…he thrives on my misery…
🤣So Thursday morning I woke up to yet more relentless torrential rain and as I squelched up to the top field, where the sheep are currently residing, I was met with torrents of water pouring down the field and the boys were stuck on a little island of dry whilst huge puddles and streams of water formed around them and in and through their shelter!! 😱The girls shelter fared a lot better so they were ok thankfully but the boys could not stay in their area and there was no other choice but to move them. But they don’t yet trust me enough to follow me and herding them through the girls field wasn’t an option either…omg, can you imagine..Eddie might be old but he still has a twinkle in his eye…😝the top field is quite a way from the main stables so I was buggered and back up was needed! After a panicked text to Ian he leapt into action and tee’d up some youth and muscle in the shape of Fin and Ned and a four wheel drive truck to come and help rescue the boys from their watery emergency! I honestly thought the truck would get stuck but it made it up to the top field without incident and the boys were rounded up fairly easily which was a relief as I have not yet honed my herding skills and humiliation is only ever a step away when dealing with animals that are obviously smarter than me 🤣They are very good once cornered though so I could catch them and hand Ned and Fin a sheep each to lift onto the back of the pick-up. They cheerfully put up with me fussing and wittering away about being gentle with the little old men..I’m nothing if not a vocal worrier. I clambered in and held on to Eddie whilst Ned held Sid and off we went back down towards the stables slipping and a sliding. Once safely down they hefted them out and popped them over the fence into their new area and I heaved a sigh of relief. I can’t thank them enough for dropping what they were doing and heading over to help, I was a bit stressed as you can imagine but at least I managed not to burst into tears, result! So the little fellas are now residing in the old goat area and have access to a warm, dry, straw filled shed palace which they are very much enjoying!! I had to stagger up and down the fields a few more times though to lug back hurdles as there were a couple of gaps in the fencing that needed plugging…that’s already been added to Ian’s to do list when he gets home…so by the time I’d done that I was a ball of sticky mud and I definitely couldn’t get any wetter but very relieved that it was a job well done. Sid and Eddie seem non the worse for their little adventure and were quite at home when I went to feed them this morning.
I have to say that the sheep are an absolute joy…they are sweet, gentle and very very relaxing to just sit with and watch the world go by. I spent half an hour sat with the girls earlier in their shelter as the rain rattled down on the roof and it was very therapeutic…🥰Tinkerbell sat next to me, occasionally pushing my face with her nose for more affection and Bluebell and Annabelle were brave enough to come into the shelter also but kept a slightly wary eye on me. It’s progress though as they wouldn’t come anywhere near when they first arrived. As for Sid and Eddie, well, I’m utterly in love with those tiny little men…Eddie is already tame and trots up for strokes around his little frosty face but Sid is very nervy at the moment although starting to come closer and hopefully the jumpiness will improve as he gets to know us. I’m going armed with ginger biscuits tomorrow to see if I can buy his love…I have no shame…😂
Edit : I typed this last night ready to post this morning and I’ve woke up to silence…no rain hammering down…woohooo…but of course it’s stopped as Ian is due home later!!! 🤣
Have a lovely, and hopefully dry, weekend everyone!

So that’s another year rolled by and it’s not been the best one for us here…it’s been a year of extremes, a few highs in between a lot of heartbreaking lows with hefty doses of stress as well. It’s felt like we’ve been clinging frantically on as unforeseen incidents happened all around us and that doesn’t make for an easy time. Finding the peaceful moments amongst the chaos has been tough but we are learning to grab them when we can, even if it’s only brief moments. So we are bidding this year au revoir quietly with our friends, Rog and Glen, who have tramped over from Cornwall ❤️ and hoping to usher in a calmer 2025. I’ll be popping on a few updates over the next days as there are things that I haven’t yet shared, sad things that I’m still processing but there will be some happy in there too….my optimistic side hasn’t quite left the building yet!😂
I hope you all have a great time tonight, whether it’s a quiet one like us or you are partying like it’s 1999 (showing my age there…😂) enjoy and we will see you all next year!
Ps Added a few photos taken on Christmas Day ❤️

So here they are…meet the new woolly additions to the family!! 🥰 They’ve been with us a few weeks now and are starting to settle in…a few teething troubles but nothing major so I thought it was time to introduce them! Only Tinkerbell came with a name so we’ve been trying out a few different names to see how they fit. We’ve settled on Sid and Eddie for the tiny boys and stayed with the bell theme for the girls so that makes Tinkerbell, Bluebell and Annabelle 🥰 Tinkerbell and Eddie are very tame but the others are still pretty shy of us…hopefully with time and lots of patient hours sitting with them then they will warm up to us. They are all around 10-12 years of age, not sure exactly but there is something very special about the golden oldies, especially those that are usually destined for much shorter lives, and we are very happy to have them here with us 😍

How is it Friday again?! 🤪 The last two weeks have flown by in a blur of new animal arrivals, a steady stream of guests in the gite, bunny bonding and, well Woody!! 😂 Ian also popped back to the UK to visit his mum so whilst I was home alone it was obviously a great time to have high winds and driving rain…fun!!🙈😂
The weather is glorious now though and yesterday we welcomed Maisie goat into our little herd. 🥰 Ted is fascinated by her and very excited to have a new lady to add to his harem! He spent the day trying to make friends but Maisie is having none of it yet although we did achieve a nose bump by the end of the afternoon!! Arthur deigned to give her a few glances but remained his usual aloof self, Lola was extremely unbothered and just carried on eating and Charlie alpaca looked appalled, from a distance, that there was another horned beast to keep a close eye on!😂
We are fostering Maisie as she belongs to our friends Jane and Daren whom she has lived with for the last five years along with her mum Marjorie but sadly Marjorie passed away on Saturday leaving Maisie all alone so she was in need of some new goat friends to help her sadness. Her life has been turned upside down so she was a little unsettled yesterday but she went to bed with the others calmly enough and hopefully, in a few days, she will start to enjoy her new goaty family. She’s an absolutely sweetheart, loves people and comes running when you shout her.
I spent a very nice afternoon hanging out in the front field with them all and got some lovely pics as well! 🥰
More new arrival news on its way…watch this space!!

And Woody is home! No cone of shame so we’ll see how that goes…🤪 We dropped him off just before 8am and he behaved like a dream and trotted off with the vet nurse without so much as a backwards glance!! I have to admit, I felt dismissed!! 😂 Collecting him was a different matter…we could hear him barking before we even got in and the lady taking payment said her colleagues would be glad when he went home…😂😂 He shot out of the door like a bullet to the car and after eating like he’d never been fed he is now laid positioned so he can stare at us like we are the worst dog parents ever…😂😂 Hope you’re all having a better Friday than Woody!

Glorious weather for the first Woody walk of the day this morning 😎 Look at his happy fuzzy face blissfully unaware that his precious purse is about to be emptied…yes, it’s nuts off Friday for the big fella 😂😂 I cannot lie, we are not looking forward to wrestling him into the clinic, he’s still not great at all at meeting new people, well men really…loves the ladies but, after a chat with the vet, we’ve arranged to sneak in the out of hours entrance to avoid the..ahem…challenge 🤪 of the main waiting room and he’s first up on the chopping block as well so hopefully he won’t be scarred for life by the ordeal! 😬🤞🏻I shall report back Friday of course!

As always…it’s been a while!! 😀
September and October have disappeared in a flurry of the usual chaos….hanging on in there by our fingertips and racing towards the end of the year...how on earth did that happen?! The weather has been glorious for most of October and November although the temperatures have dropped from the rather pleasant 20's down to the 14-15 degrees this week and heading lower next week with some rain thrown in...winter is approaching it seems...anyway, let's dive in to the update!
Woody is settling in well, it’s been almost 2 months now and he turned 6 months old on the 1st November so it will soon be time for him to say goodbye to his newly acquired furry love potato’s…😂 This will be a relief seeing as he spends an inordinate amount of time washing them, nibbling them and licking them with a sometimes nauseating enthusiasm...🤮😂He is still not great with men on their own when he first meets them and he thoroughly disgraced himself in front of the ultra well trained doberman and his owner that live in the next hamlet…I moved as far away as I could when we saw them heading towards us but Woody still lunged, barked and whinnied in a wildly enthusiastic manner whilst I clung on desperately…I squeaked out a mortified sorry at the chap as he strolled calmly by with a superior air and pitying look at me. Oh the shame of the unruly dog...😂Of course we are working on this issue, taking him to places where he can watch people go by from a less exciting proximity but it’s not a quick fix and we are in it for the long haul! I’m also working on general training which will all help him to control his emotions better…we hope…that’s the theory…I have trawled through thousands of videos on YouTube so obviously I am now totally confused with all the conflicting advice but I think we landed on a trainer that seems to jive with me and Woody. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't indulge in too much training with our wee cairn terriers and although they were often naughty, very cheeky, extremely good at escaping, ridiculously stubborn, very independent and often deaf, they were much smaller, less imposing and easier to get a grip of…Woody is 18 kilos of pretty much the same traits, minus the stubbornness thank goodness, but definitely not so easy to get a grip of!! But apart from this, he is an utter sweetheart and a joy to have around. He still isn’t up for too many cuddles yet much to my disappointment and he has the best side eye I have ever seen which makes us laugh, such an expressive scruffy face.🥰 My days revolve around him and his walks, his training and the constant job of keeping things out of his mouth that shouldn’t be in there!! Ian is taking the strain with the larger animal care so I just have the smaller animal family to deal with…sitting down has become a rare treat though!
In other news, Lewis was finally diagnosed with Lymes disease back in September and he has caused us quite a lot of worry over the last few months. Lots of very tense days spent constantly worrying and taking his temperature to see if the meds were working. He recovered well thankfully but we were warned relapses might happen. And, with impeccable timing, a relapse happened just as Ian was out of the door to head back to the UK for a visit to his Mum in October…of course it did!! 🙈The vet administered more meds and the anxious wait and temp testing began again. Lewis is a big chap and I am a diminutive 5 foot 2 and a half so his bottom is pretty much on a level with my face…you can see where I’m going can’t you?! 🤣Every time I lifted his tail to pop in the thermometer he proceeded to let out a long, slow and viciously stinky fart…I cannot let go of the thermometer and I cannot put enough distance between my nose and said bottom…I have a strong stomach but FFS and it was every bloody time!!! The thermometer beeps when the reading is ready, which I assume is one minute, but it feels like the longest 60 seconds ever!! I asked Ian if he did it to him but apparently not…he seems to know that he wouldn’t be able to achieve the same satisfying impact with 6ft of Ian….But we are just pleased that he seems to be on the mend and so far he’s not needed another visit from the vet…I whispered that quietly…🤞
Lola has been with us for a whole year now and she has turned 13 at some point this year…we don't know her exact date of birth so we’ve made her gotcha day her birthday…October the 22nd. She has had a stellar summer and even got a little chubby!!! 🥰We never thought she’d even get through winter let alone thrive like she has and thank goodness she has thrived as we absolutely adore her, such a huge personality and number one cuddler! Our brilliant farrier, Mary, did some research on goat feet and has now trimmed her overgrown front hooves almost back to normal and Lola spent most of the summer standing properly rather than going down onto her front knees. She is just starting to get stiffer now that the weather has turned cooler but we will keep a close eye on her and this winter she is cosy in her own private stall on a soft fluffy straw bed enclosed in the stable which is so much better for her than our old goat hut which Arthur guarded fiercely so wouldn’t always allow Ted and Lola in!! 😳I love Arthur but he is sometimes a bit of a sh*t….😂they now all have a stall each all next to each other and they are loving it. Charlie alpaca sleeps in the stable with them too on his own fluffy bed and is happy with the new arrangement after a hesitant start…we had a few nights of affronted murmuring from him because the goats were not where they usually were..Charlie likes a very ordered life and if he considers the goats should not be there then he makes his feelings clear!😂 He’s had a good think about it though and has concluded that this arrangement is better as the horned devils are now securely caged during the night so he doesn't have to worry about them wandering into his space…he likes them near but not too near….

Another milestone is our big gentle boy Clyde reaching the grand old age of 30 this year! 🥰 Again, we are not sure when his birthday is but I got him in an October so that is as good a month as any to celebrate! He’s doing great, obviously he is slowing down and he has dropped some muscle but he still likes a gallop around with the ponies and Lewis. He goes absolutely nuts for his food which he has to have 3 times a day now as he can no longer grind down hay with his old teeth but a nice sloppy bucket of feed is much more exciting than hay to be fair and he slurps and chomps away with a look of bliss on his face! He doesn’t have any major aches or pains, he's such a proper sturdy boy so long may it continue.

Another big birthday on September 22rd was for Dotty the chinchilla who is still going strong and causing havoc at the grand old age of 22!! She never ceases to amaze me and still charges everywhere at full pelt and is totally unfazed by the arrival of the rather large Woody into her domain. She sits and glares at him if he barks at her, bites his nose if he’s stupid enough to shove it near her cage and doesn’t even flinch if he smacks a huge paw in her direction. She is nails.💪 Obviously we leap into action to stop Woody annoying her as soon as he starts and he’s a lot better with her now but she does a good job of looking after herself when we are a bit slow on the uptake. I would also like to mention that Dotty has only ever had one visit to the vets in her entire 22 years and that turned out not to be necessary…she thrives on her angry disposition it seems!! Legend.

Tabby cat is still living next door in the gite and showing no signs of wanting to re-enter our house. She seems to be enjoying having her own house and it’s probably cat party central in there, all her mates round smoking, drinking and watching unsuitable stuff on the TV whilst the parents and idiot dog are non the wiser next door…😂
And on that note I shall stop rambling for now.. I guess the next update will be sheep arrivals and festive filled…I’m trying to imagine Woody and a Christmas tree living harmoniously….😂🙈🎄

Good morning and Happy Monday to you all and, for us, it’s also Happy one week of Woody!! 🥰

It’s been hectic and a bit crazy settling in to our new routine but we are getting there now and it’s so lovely to have a dog back in the house even if we are tripping over random toys everywhere, fielding puppy zoomies and constantly removing things from his mouth that he shouldn’t have! He’s a lovely, gentle soul though, quick to learn, eager to please and a big, cuddly ton of fun!! ❤️
For those that don’t know his story…he is 5 months old and was picked up as a stray on Reunion island which is in the Indian ocean. He is definitely one of the lucky ones…there are so many stray dogs who often meet a miserable end but these wonderful people do amazing work scooping up and finding homes for as many dogs, and cats as well, as they can. Woody was in a lovely foster home for a short while and then had a 12 hour flight over to France arriving on the 13th September at Association Erka, jamais sans toits near Paris which is where we collected him from on the 16th. It’s a beautiful place for the dogs to recover and the team of volunteers work crazy hard finding perfect homes for the dogs and they invariably have 2-3 flights a week coming in with dogs so it’s full on and I really don't know how they do it but I’m very glad they do. 😘

Woody has had a busy week and has now met a few of our friends which went well, a bit of barking initially but soon calmed down and also our neighbours dog Nino who is lovely and was one of the few dogs that Archie loved. 🥰He’s also met most of the animals and he’s great with the big animals, very calm and I’m sure he thinks Teddy goat is a dog! 😂Meeting the rabbits however, even from a distance, is definitely not going to happen again any time soon…a bit of a barking, lunging disaster to say the least! 😱He is getting more used to the hens though, mainly because we currently have 3 in the utility room sick bay so he wanders in and out all day sniffing at them and generally learning to find them less interesting. 😆By some happy fluke he is excellent on his lead, no pulling and even walks quietly next to me when I ask him, I’m taking that easy win and hoping it’s not temporary!! The less good news is that poor Ian is back to more fencing as we are so set up to little dog legs and didn’t even think about the wall around our yard being a bit on the low side for old lanky legs Woody!! He hopped straight over on his first outing into the yard but thankfully I wasn’t too far from him and I executed an impressive lunge/dive thing and caught him mid soar!! 😂I saw Ian’s shoulders droop despondently as he wandered off to check how many fence posts we have left…we’ve also got to add some trellis along the top of the wall between us and the gite as he can spring over that too…we may be going for full on wildlife park type security fencing by the time we finish…a steep learning curve this week!! Whilst Ian toils with the never ending fencing, my job is recall training…lots of it…Woody is an avid tracker of sniffs and would be away on his furry toes given half the chance..which he won't be!! 🤪

The other surprise has been Miss Tabby cat….she took one horrified look and has decided that she loathes him…full on spitting, hissing and growling from the moment he came in the house and at the first opportunity she packed her bags and has flounced off in disgust to the big gite!! 😂She point blank refuses to make friends with the big daft idiot as she calls him and spends her time stalking passed the windows multiple times during the day making rude gestures at Woody and winding him up into a barking frenzy which seems to please her no end! I’m sure after she’s tortured him for a while then she’ll give in and make friends…especially once it turns colder as well…she is nothing if not a spoilt minx who loves her comforts so I’m sure that will focus her mind!! 🤔Ian slept in the gite with her last night as he feels extra sorry for her and puss cat knows how to manipulate Ian big time…I have a sneaking respect for the cat…😂

I’m still sleeping downstairs with Woody as he was very disorientated and a little sad when he first arrived and needed extra reassurance but he has slept right through the night for the last few nights so I’ve moved my little camp bed round the corner into the dining room where he can’t see me but he knows I’m still there…I’m hoping that tonight I can sneak up to bed after an hour or so…fingers crossed! 🤞🏻🤞🏻He is not good at being left alone during the day though yet and barks constantly if we are both out seeing to the animals. We are working on this but it’s a slow process and he’s still very much a baby who’s had so much change to deal with. Softly softly… I actually haven’t taken that many photo’s this week, I’m sure that will change but here’s the few I did take…he’s extremely photogenic..jealous knickers puss cat does not agree with that though…😂😂
Have a great week and I’ll be back soon with an update on all the other furred and feathered ones ❤️

It’s been a long day for wee Woody so far, and Ian to be fair with the 4 and a half hour drive, he’s a little downhearted but he’s coped brilliantly, just an hour to go now and he’ll be in his new home 🥰🥰 we love him already 🥰🥰

13/09/2024

Look who’s arrived safe and sound!!! 😍😍 He looks very relaxed and happy despite his long journey 🥰

12/09/2024

Woody is on his way to the airport!!! Exciting for us but scary for the little man…he’ll soon be home with us though 🥰 we absolutely cannot wait to meet him now!! 😍

Just out taking puss cat for a walk to break the news to her that a 5 month old puppy is about to crash into her life…she has not taken the news well…here she is staring into the abyss of darkness that will be her life very soon…she is prone to the dramatic…I’ve had to ban her scheduled social media hour this week as she has been in Facebook jail several times recently for putting rudely insulting comments under pictures of dogs…this news could really push her over the edge…🫣😂😂😂

Good morning everyone from the very lovely Teddy goat…let the chaos of the day commence!! 😂

And just like that..September is here!!! How on earth did that happen?? 🤪
Time is flying by crazy fast and this month is going to be a special one as we are welcoming this little sweetheart to the animal family!!! 😍
Meet Woody!! 🥰🥰He’s 4 months old and is currently on the island of Reunion but will soon be arriving in France at a rescue centre near Paris. We drive up to collect him on the 16th, so 2 weeks today and we cannot wait to meet him!!!
He is cool with cats and very relaxed and friendly, happy in his own paws which I thought was a lovely description 🥰 Hopefully, with lots of careful introducing and monitoring, he’ll make friends with all the other residents here…🤞🏻🤞🏻
I had thought we’d wait a little while after losing Archie, we are still so heartbroken, but the house is too quiet and empty…we couldn’t bear it…I was having a particularly bad day missing Archie and for some reason I started idly browsing rescue sites and this little face popped up..it was fate, a done deal there and then despite the fact I spent a few days arguing with myself, I even decided no at one point as he’s going to be a lot bigger dog than the little scruffy mutts I’m used to! But I couldn’t get him out of my head so I went ahead and filled out a form followed by a phone interview in my best French, interesting but we got there!!😂😂 Speaking on the phone is much harder than in person for me, I talk with my hands a lot!! 😂This page was a massive help as they were able to see our house and surroundings and get a feel of us as people, normally they do home checks but this was waived so all of a sudden, boom, we have a dog in our lives again!! 😃Ian was remarkably calm through my whole pacing and fretting stage and said we should take him right from first seeing his photo…A moment of decisiveness from Ian is not to be ignored!!😂😂
The rescue, Association Erka, jamais sans Toit, is a wonderful place and they do such great work helping dogs on the island find homes…it’s not a very safe place for dogs to be sadly…☹️
Tabby cat is blissfully unaware of the hairy tornado that is about to enter her space…it’s going to be chaotic, hectic and a lot of fun!! 🙈❤️

Hello! Get me posting twice in as many days…😂😂 It’s been a tense day so far but also exciting…the tense is because the bunnies are being neutered today, they’ve probably been done by now but either way I’m anxiously awaiting the call from the vets to let me know how things went but I am sure all will be well 🤞🏻 It’s also been an exciting morning as we went off to meet some lovely new residents that will be arriving soon!!!! I know, I know, probably not the best time to add to the family given all the stress , upset and vets bills we’ve had lately but you know us!! 😂
So meet the sheep girls!!!! 😍😍 And as it turns out, 2 boys as well!! 🐏🐏We were only supposed to be taking the girls as one of the boys is intact so they live in a separate field to the girls obviously but of course, we met them and it seemed wrong to split them up as they live in adjoining fields and are very attached to each other. The little ram has the most amazing horns I’ve ever seen and Arthur goat is going to be furious with envy…😂😂
We don’t know all the names yet or details of when they are arriving but they are coming from a fantastic home where they’ve been loved and cared for. Their current owner, Scott, is lovely and has taken a lot of time to try and find them a good home to go to…one where they wouldn’t get eaten which isn’t so easy to find over here!! 😱 He’s helping us with costs and fencing and is very relieved that we are taking them although we feel very chuffed to be entrusted with his beloved animals. ❤️ So watch this space!!

🐰🐰🐰🐰Post Edit! 🐰🐰🐰Just to say that all baby bunnies came safely through their ops, George and Peter are eating and p**ping just fine but Sammy girl and Simon need careful monitoring as they hadn’t achieved either at the vets but it was felt that they’d do better at home. They have both nibbled at some dandelion leaves so I’m feeling optimistic…so here’s to an evening of p**p watch 💩for me…Wednesday night, rock and roll…😂😂

We are off and running on a new week and despite the heavy weight of sadness, the animal family keep us moving forward at pace! Today I thought I'd update on baby bunny progress as they are growing fast and this evening will be off to get settled in at the vet clinic ready for neutering tomorrow...always a bit of a stressful time but it has to be done as the 3 boys are just starting to discover that Sammy girl smells different to them in a very interesting way...😂 The poor wee girl is not happy about the sudden extra attention and squashes herself into a little box I've put in their pen for that purpose..I told her they won't be feeling so fruity after tomorrow that's for sure! 😂 Their house and pen are almost ready, just waiting for Chris the builder to work his magic on finishing touches next week as we hit a few snags in construction that need skills beyond us!! 😂 They are more than ready for some extra space to kick up their heels and really run and I can't wait to see them settled in ❤
I put together some before and after photo's and also we did finally name them all!! George, Peter, Simon and Sammy...small, cute and very fast!!
