Been digging!

Today is a lovely sunny day and so I thought I’d check out what’s been happening in my garden over the last week or so.  Our house is built into the side of a hill (there are lots of those here in Devon!) and so I can’t actually look out on the garden from indoors.  Although we almost live outside during the summer, it’s fair to say that I lose sight of what’s happening outside during the winter months.  I was delighted to see that my beautiful pink Camellia was in full bloom, and I picked a few buds to bring inside. 

The primroses are lovely as well,  but I was surprised to see that a number had disappeared into a large muddy hole.  And at the bottom of the hole there appeared to be .. the remants of a large dog chew.  It strongly resembled one that Ben received earlier this week to keep him occupied as I wrestled with the intricacies of my wonderful new website.  I wondered where it had gone as I hadn’t fallen over it for a couple of days.  Then I looked around and saw …. 

A rather muddy nose attached to a large furry dog!  Let’s take a closer look …

Yes .. I think the evidence is fairly conclusive – I know who’s been digging up the primroses.  Bad dog Ben!
