It’s Father’s Day and my two boys, Dexter and Crosby, have decided that as a special treat we should go for a walk. This is, of course, what Dexter and Crosby decide we should do most days (Dexter is less keen if it is pouring with rain), but today is going to be another walk where we will cover ground that we have not previously walked.

A Father’s Day Kiss From Crosby

Bentley Wood
After a few days in Taunton we have returned to Pitton for just over a week to catch up with family and friends. Our visit coincides with Saints’ last home game of the season, so on Sunday I headed to St Mary’s. Predictably, with a number of players destined for World Cup duty, it was a meagerly contested draw.

Donkeys at Dusk
After the trauma of wrestling the awning the previous day, Wednesday is a day for catching up. An appointment takes us back to Salisbury and this provides the opportunity to jettison more excess baggage. We pop back to Pitton, Dexter and Crosby are taken for a familiar walk and to Crosby’s delight the brace of partridges that he was stalking a couple of weeks ago are awaiting his arrival. Dexter quickly learnt that once a partridge, or pheasant, is airborne there is no point in expending further energy. The younger Crosby still thinks that if he chases for fifty yards his efforts will be rewarded.
