Happy Birthday to our gorgeous Duke who’s 9 today!! 🥳😘🐶❤️
It’s set to be 34 degrees here today but it was lovely at 6 o’clock this morning! It felt almost autumnal with the fallen leaves 🍁 so if you need to know that autumn’s on its way then here’s your sign! (I think my favourite seasons are spring and summer but am totally getting the appeal of autumn.)
Isn’t this beautiful ❤️
The beautiful gardens at Hever Castle 😍 absolutely exquisite, I can’t wait to go back again soon!
Garden centre haul! I love dahlias, they’re absolutely beautiful flowers with wonderful colours and just the most perfectly beautiful shapes. I was so chuffed to get these beauties today, now we just need to keep them alive 🥰
Spot Ellie making friends with a donkey at The Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth, Devon ❤️ We were really pleased to discover that dogs are welcome at the donkey sanctuary - they must be kept on a lead at all times for obvious reasons. I love donkeys, they’re such beautiful and gentle creatures. I won’t go in to some of the horrific ways that donkeys are used or treated but needless to say The Donkey Sanctuary are working hard to make the world a better place for donkeys ❤️ You can find out more about their work on their website. The sanctuary is situated in Sidmouth, pop EX10 0NU into your satnav if driving. It’s a lovely walk around the sanctuary and you can also walk from there to other areas, including a nearby beach. There was a no charge to get in but donations are welcome - there is a machine where you can scan a code to make a donation, on doing this you’ll find out how your money is used to help the donkeys and get a good feeling that you’ve done your little bit to help as well as an opportunity to meet some beautiful donkeys. You can adopt an individual donkey which is a lovely gift idea for someone and while we were there we discovered that there were people there to visit own donkey! We arrived in time for an informative talk and then explored the walkways at our leisure. There was a gift shop, as well as a restaurant and outside ice cream shed. It’s well worth a visit especially if you love animals! Take a look at the Donkey Sanctuary website for more on what they do, they’ve got webcams on there too which could end up a bit addictive. Check before you visit too as if any of the donkeys are sadly unwell there may be sections you can’t go in. 👏 and thank you to charities like this for all the caring work they do to help animals.
