Stopped off for walk + to do some “fun” pics

During the drive up to Scotland or/and on the way back, I always like to stop off and go walk! I did get a good walk in during my drive up…. But it was, way to wet to get any “fun” photos! But the weather on the way back, was much better!

Happy #InternationalDogDay 2022

It’s International Dog Day 2022! So here are some photos of my new best friend Bugsy! Oh and don’t worry Cooper, I will NEVER, NEVER forget you!

Cooper may have passed anyway, a good number of months ago now. But still miss him each and every day. Can’t get my head around it. Still in mourning… Every time, I think I am getting use to him not being around, something sets me off…

Life has just not been the same since he died! xx

But of course, having Bugsy has really helped me! He’s starting to be great fun to be around! Can’t wait to go on many adventures with him…

Here are some photos of Bugsy….

Please welcome Bugsy to our family

Mark G, Bugsy and myself

Bugsy really does love his hugs now!!

More Synergy Swimrun wetsuit photos while in Scotland

Here are even more photos of myself wearing the Synergy Swimrun wetsuit, during my time up in Scotland! No, before anyone asks, I did not go in river… Come on it’s winter here in Scotland! Plus it had been snowing! So that water, would have been super COLD!

Boxing Day wetsuit walk!

After going a wetsuited walk on Christmas Day, of course, I had to do the same again on Boxing Day! Was wearing the Synergy Swimrun wetsuit again. Since it was only wetsuit, I took up to Scotland with me! This walk was even longer than yesterday. Did 3.5 miles, check out the route at www.strava.com/activities/6429019934.
