May I?
I’m not quite sure if I’m allowed to have this. But we could have a fun chasing game if you wanted to take it away from me….
Autumnal access
Autumn colours at Coton. And Tilly demonstrating that gates are intended for humans and not for spaniels.

Nautilly
Tilly had her first experience of boating today, in my inflatable kayak. She couldn’t quite decide whether to be nervous or not…
When you can run as fast as this…
…who needs to touch the ground?
I must go down to the sea again
Tilly explored the limestone shoreline at Birling Gap one evening recently. I used to play here as a child.
Canine calculations
My friend Jon Crowcroft told me recently that “On the Internet, everyone now knows you have a dog”. I took the point, and will try to moderate my doggy posts: Tilly has been with us for a year now, so I should be over that annoying new-parent enthusiasm.
It did strike me the other day, though, as we strolled across icy fields, that I walk her about two miles every morning and Rose does the same in the afternoon. Tilly, when she’s off the lead, runs at least a further three miles that we don’t.
This means that over 12 months Rose and I have each walked further than the length of the British Isles.
Tilly, on the other hand, has run a distance roughly equivalent to the width of the United States, which I feel is not a bad achievement before you reach 15 months old!
OK. Proud father signing off now…
Why are you working at that computer?…
…when you could be taking me for a walk?
Are you sure?
…that I’m really not allowed on there?
