I suspected something was going on on Sunday when the she boss was putting all the tent stuff in the car but I wasn't sure if she was taking me then when she went off on Monday morning without me I was certain she wasn't. She must have just forgotten cos she came back later and fetched me! I was a bit sad & bothered that the he boss wasn't coming but it was all fine.
This time we went somewhere I've never been before. The she boss called it Castleton and it was very nice except there was no water to paddle in next to the tent. We found some nice walks though.
We walked up a big hill called Mam Tor. There were lots of little people up there who had managed with their little legs. We sat to look at it all for a while half way up and watched some noisy caterpillar things way down at the bottom. Some were red and blue and some green and yellow. When we walked back through the town, a middling size boy person came to give me some fuss while the she boss wasn't looking. He was a nice boy and I didn't growl or bite. It's the first time I've let one of those stroke me without the she boss holding me tight.
Next day we walked through the town and waited at this strange place then one of the noisy caterpillar things came along by us. Before I knew it the she boss had got in it and taken me with her!! We've never done that before. It was a bit shaky but OK. There was another dog in there but he was a bit of a cry baby so I ignored him. We weren't on too long then we had another really long walk. We walked for quite a while with a nice man who was talking to the she boss. Lots of people seemed to like me and kept looking at me and talking about me. It's probably because I was so well behaved over the stiles and things and always waited when the she boss told me to. It was very hot, so when the she boss found some water, I got in. The way all the people laughed, I think I was supposed to just reach in and have a drink really but it was nice and cool on my hot feet.
We went back to the town by the tent on the caterpillar thing again but I knew what to expect this time. When we got back to the tent, the nice lady, Claire, who had lived in the tent next door had gone and there was a new tent there instead. It was nice having her there for the she boss to talk to and she liked me.
We only had little walks the next day. I think the she boss's feet were sore and my legs were still a bit tired. We stayed at the tent mainly but I had a nice surprise later. The friend Peter came to see us and had some dinner with us!! How did he find us all that way? It was nice to see him and he seemed pleased to see me too.
After he had gone, me and the she boss went for a slower walk but still quite a long way. It was getting dark by the time we got back. Then today we came home
It was a nice holiday especially once the sun came out and it got warm. There were alot of Malvern flies on the hills though. I like trying to catch them but they get a bit annoying after a while. There were loads of those white baa-ey things as well
which meant that the she boss wouldn't let me off the lead. They were friendly though and came right up to us sometimes to say 'hello'I'll write more about those boy people sometime and other little people but not today cos I get a bit cross when I think about them and today I'm happy. It was a nice holiday but nice to see the he boss again
