Backpacking with Bella

Last night awoke at 0400h for a pee, just settling back to sleep when the room was illuminated by a flash of light, followed by a clap of thunder, somewhere in the Glens which awoke Ruaridh. He went out for a pee then decided to come into our bed where he settled until 0745h, up with him again when he decided to start chasing rabbits, he gave them a fright but that is all.
Layla and Bella awoke, morning drinks before I went into the bath which was great, washed my hair.
Breakfast then Christine, Haley and Amie arrived to see Miss B. She was delighted with the girls who took her for a walk, reported back that she had only fallen three times ??, anyway she appeared to be fine.
Down to the village shop to get the papers and messages. Had a lovely walk down at the beach the rain stopped and the sun came shining through. I carried Bella in the baby backpack and very comfortable it is too! Ruaridh also appered to enjoy his walk and ran all over the beach.
Back to the house had lunch and made some bread, played with Bella. Telephoned mum who appeared to be somewhat better?
Graham made dinner pasta al forno with salad and bread.
Joe arrived safe and sound around 1830h Bella was delighted to see him
We had dinner which tasted delicious thanks to Graham.
Just enjoyed my red wine and chocolate so going to bed soon, Goodnight.
