COMMON RIDING WEEK!

Morris : It's that time of the year again so there will be a lot of horses and a lot of people with sore heads. We usually try and keep out of it. I did try improving my sartorial elegance by trying to copy Ewen but I'm not sure if it worked. The jumper was nice and cosy but the hat kept falling off. Not sure if it's my look?

Mabel : I gave up with all this stuff and went back to bed for beauty sleep. The weather is just horrendous and probably won't improve until August 14th when the schools go back here.

We did have one bit of excitement though, when we went to visit Magnus and Mirren's old chum Murphy. Usually he just growls at us and hides his ball. This time he was quite chummy and even sat for a group picture. We were very warm as we had been chasing rabbits. Maybe he realised we were too knackered to play or steal his ball? Maybe now we are two he thinks we are more adult?

But then again he did do a quick swivel head to check the ball situation.
