Pip is here to debunk the myth that dogs can't look up. When you're obsessed with squirrels, it's an imperative. The bliss of a cool walk in the Tamar Valley today. Bonus game: spot the small dog. The cabin in the low light of the partial eclipse this week. Been to a local speed shearing competition. One competitor's name is Mickey Shears. That's either nominative determinism in action or he's really dedicated to his craft. I'm an absolute sucker for sun dried tomatoes in oil, but buying them from the supermarket was threatening to break the bank, so I sussed out making my own with dried tomatoes from the health food shop, and mine taste better if I say so myself.
