Just let the Labrador out in the back garden, what I thought was an emergency wee, turned out to be a raid on the open rabbit hutch to steal their food..... greedy dog was fed at 06:30!!!

It is a known fact that Labrador's are born without the I'm Full Gene, that is why you see so many overweight ones.

When she was a pup, she managed to sneak in the garage while I was at work, she chewed a hole in a full bag of dog food and eat until her belly was below her feet, I didn't dare give her a drink in case she exploded!!!!

I was in Daytona in March 2014 for Bike week, when I was making my way back to my car I came across the Cyldesdales they were going joining the parade.

I adore horses especially shires.

Back in the days of horsecars, my fathers' family bred Percherons, supplied a lot of the transit market in the States.
Dang trolleys/trams, and little dinging bells, and their electrocity, and their fancy paint-jobs!
Think they're so cute.
Until the electrocity fails.

Horses... my fathers friend had a couple of Hunters, when he came to visit he never got off his horse he just waited at the end of the drive, the stable girls used to help him up the step ladders to get on, he rode to our house and back for them to help him dismount, they always left shoe prints in the tarmac, they were very big handsome horses

I rode a hunter, when at Uni, where there was a stable near my house.

Yes, it does drink especially well when chugged directly from the bottle.

Does it make me a philistine that I prefer it cold from the fridge?

No, you'd be just fine in the States. Almost every refrigerator except mine probably has a case of Budweiser or Busch or Stell Artois in it. Although craft brewing has returned. Many good local beers. In this part of the country, close to the grain supply and a good supply of German-Americans and Irish Americans, local brewing was a tradition, killed by the prohibition of alcohol 1919-1932, but just in the last 20 years coming back quite well.

Same sort of thing here. I am growing potatoes in 5 gallon buckets, one just broke the surface yesterday. And some old tomato seeds that did not germinate have now sent up shoots.

Just the usual puttering around this morning.It is very hot and sunny here chez Casa Witty. Had fun rummaging in the garage looking for inspiration for today's photo shoot.

Am about to have lunch, then try Tesco again. Third time's supposed to be a charm, right?

This was my favourite the last time I went fly fishing up in the rockies.

I believe the big cycling tourist association in the States is headquartered there in Missoula, Montana, as well.

I'm sure he'd let you do it.
