Two Dutch Girls on a Road Trip to Wiltshire

Road Trip 2017 (2) - Richmond to Chawton to Salisbury.

Good afternoon! Would you like to join me for the second part of my road trip in the South-West of England? A long time wish of my daughter...

Viggo's Blog - Let It Snow!!

Hi fans, Viggo here.



My woman tells me that there's a huge climate conference in Paris, France at the moment. She says it is to do with my weather.
Yes, sure, it is your weather too, but basically it is more my weather, 'cause I'm out in it for most of my days and nights, and I bet you're not!

Don't know about your experiences, but over here in The Wetlands it has been raining for weeks now. The water in the rivers and other waterways is extremely high, in fact it is only just in the waterways (as opposed to the waterways becoming simply 'ways' - meaning they are flooding the surroundings).
Now, I don't swim much, but I'm wet all the same all the effing time! It takes me ages to groom, and my woman bans me from her bed.

Let it snow, I say!!



Snow is fun. Yes, it is cold at first, but it smells lovely and clean, and it makes a delightful sound when you jump a mouse in snow. And I adore watching it fall from the sky.
I have told you this before, but in case you suffer from early onset dementia I'll tell you again: I am convinced Kate Bush is half cat. And she has recorded a wonderful song about snow, which says it all.
Nice friendly cat that I am, I have provided you with a link. Enjoy!Snowflake
Until next time, Tar rah!

Snow! Take Care on the Roads, and Have a Wonderful Day!

Waking up to a world with her bridal clothes on... who doesn't like that?
There is snow.


In the Wetlands that means:

* panic (we hardly ever get that white stuff; are not used to it)
* looooooooooong lines of cars going slow
* trains and buses being delayed or simply not arriving
* Twitter exploding with angry tweets about public transport and road management

But it also means:

* all dog turds covered with pristine white clean crystals
* all children happy
* sleighs got down from attics and out of sheds
* beautiful photo opportunities
* Earth Mothers towing their kids to school on sleighs, with glowing cheeks and eyes
* outrageously happy dogs (dogs love snow, have you ever noticed that?)
* cocooning indoors suddenly appeals much more

Have a lovely snowy day, enjoy it!
