Oh WHAT a week! It’s almost Christmas and here I sit with hardly any presents bought, only half of the deccies up and a house that looks like a midden! Now, the reason for this sorry state of affairs, is in part due to extra rescue shifts and Christmas gatherings with friends and family. Today, …
After the week we recently spent in Bath I swore, SWORE on my mothers’ thimble that I would never go back to that apartment…..the one on the top of that horribly steep hill…..but after receiving this email from our lovely landlady Liz, I had a change of heart and booked another week, next summer….WHAT have …
Tomatoes….in November! This week I’ve found four baby hedgehogs, well….when I say I found them maybe I should explain…. Sam has a new mission in life. Hedgehog hunting! Now, often on our evening walks he rams his head into the thicket of the undergrowth, then whines and wags his tail, and he’s always right. I …
While I am trying to fix the timed- out comment problem….please copy your replies in case you are timed out. A view from my greenhouse through CLOSED doors…..dogs have to run and all that! I have spent the week hiding in there! The weather this last week has matched my health! It has been wild, …
At the moment, it seems to be a bit of a battle trying to get anything done….at all! Everywhere I look, jobs need doing.

I must be the only person who enjoys an un-mown lawn…. For the last month I have been face-painting each Sunday at the bull breed events in parks across Liverpool A view of half the courtyard from upstairs, it runs right and left from this bit… As most of you know the aim is to …
As autumn is well and truly here I set about creating a few twig piles for the hedgehogs to hibernate under. I stack the branches and then completely cover them with dried leaves which provides a snugy hidey hole, not just for the hedgehogs but for all sorts of other creatures. Come spring I …
Last Sunday I was face-painting, for Animal SOS Sri Lanka, to raise much needed funds for the street dogs and cats who suffer the most awful abuse and cruelty. This is the second year that a local charity has held a fun day and it’s now an annual event that hopefully will get bigger each …
Well…..it would seem that Curly cat has decided to lose her freedom and become a house cat. The other night, I heard a mewling outside the kitchen door, and was astonished to see Curly cat sitting there, bold as brass giving Sam the eye! This is a rather unnerving development, as Curly usually sticks to …
Last year, the rescue, along with vets and the Dogs Trust began addressing the growing problem of bull breed dogs across the North West of England. The event has now become an annual thing, and during May the welfare needs of bull breed dogs are promoted at parks throughout Liverpool. Sooooo….guess what I’ve been doing …
