Unusual .





A busy day for Wilf. Trips with ' the font ' to the picture framers, the curtain store and the fishmongers . The cheese lady lets him try a piece of particularly runny Camembert . Wilf licks his nose , does a little soft shoe shuffle and decides he must be in heaven .

Six o'clock . It stops raining . Blue sky briefly breaking into our monochrome world . A quick walk by the stream then Wilf and Angus head off to the rugby ground . The local team playing a group of farmers from somewhere near Toulouse . A late kick off. The visitors coach has taken the wrong turning off the motorway . While we wait Angus and Wilf share a hot dog from the stand in the car park . Angus wonders what could possibly have gone into the hot dog to give it such an unusual flavour . Wilf, by contrast , has that " Oh, the bliss of this glorious taste " look on his face .

The local team win 70-12. An outcome , in its own way, as unusual as the taste of the hotdog . Through it all Wilf snores contentedly , on his back , at my feet . Dreams of camembert and hot dog ? Maybe coconut ice cream ?

  1. Hi Wilf, I was a bit worried you were coming over all metrosexual there, with trips to the curtain shop and so on, but then you got taken to the rugby and fed a tasty hot dog (I don't doubt it was totally yummy) so I guess your masculinity is not in question after all.
    Toodle pip!

  10. Hot dogs mixed in with the ice cream and topped with cheese. Wilf must be dreaming of that! Everytime I see a snap of Wilf sleeping sweetly on his back I get the biggest smile ever. Our Willow sleeps like that most of the time. So, so cute! Keep on going Wilf!

    Send some rain our way please!!

    With love from your Canadian pals,

  12. The little polar bear, blissful in the grass; A moment for an artist to capture. A smile and warmth for the heart on those cold, sad days.

  13. Oh that photo of Wilf on his back! It makes on believe in karma - Wilf must have been a very high powered, stressed-out guy in his last life. THIS is his reward!
