The reason for the lack of entries lately has been a weeks trip to Broome - something we've not wanted to advertise, since we left the house unattended for the week.

Bingley has had his first stay in a boarding home - staying with three other Cav's with some (ex) Cav breeders. He doesn't appear any the worse for the experience, but was certainly happy to see us when we picked him up on Sunday morning.

Cookie and the Nando's trio were looked after by one of Rosaline's friends who lives on the estate. They don't seem worse either, although cookie did have some freedom from the back garden, as the side gate had blown open - our new security cameras show him escaping the day before we returned home. If anything Cookie appears more friendlier than usual, He's not bit R once, and W only a couple of times since we got home.

Broome was wonderful, if for nothing more than the winter sun - in the low 30's most days, just like a typical Perth Summer. Broome is quite small, so we'd done the town within a couple of days. However we had some great trips, including a sunset sail on the 'willie pearl lugger', a visit to the crocodile park
, an evening astro tour (viewing the stars). W of course being more adventurous went sea canoing and camel trecking. Whilst R managed to finish the latest Harry Potter!

There a heap of photos HERE

PLEASE NOTE I've made a lot of the photos only visible to 'family and friends' so you'll not be able to see them unless you create a flickr account. This is just to stop strangers 'perving' at some of the shots. It's easy to create an account in flickr - just follow the flickr links - or ask me to send you a link to make it easier.

W's brother and clan have one more week here - unfortunately it looks like being another wet one. Today was a visit to Freo, for shopping and a speedboat trip.
