This last week has passed by in a bit of a blurr… We had our open day at the rescue and made a princely sum despite the fact it poured down. I was face-painting but had a secret weapon this time….. my mother-in-law hand knitted these FABULOUS hedgehogs and they sold out within the hour, …
Yes, it’s that time of the year that finds us out and about in the parks of Liverpool trying to persuade people to neuter and micro- chip their bull breed dogs, for free of course, as there are far too many of these dogs in rescues across the region, one is being put to sleep …

Eighteen months ago my back garden was an utter dust bath! The dogs had run every blade of grass off the lawn, dug up or chewed through most of my plants and dug holes everywhere they shouldn’t….then, to top it all off, we had a Leylandii taken out which proved to be the final nail …

For the first time ever, the three Queens met on the River Mersey, in Liverpool, over the bank holiday weekend. Queen Mary, Elizabeth and Victoria, all came together in a magical river dance to celebrate 175 years of Cunard shipping, the home of which, began in Liverpool, hence the three ship salute.

What a week it’s been, reeling I am, reeling! I’m currently covering lots of extra shifts at the rescue and it’s that time of the year when chicks come pouring through the doors. Most pull through, but every now and then we have a truly hideous day. Last Thursday was such a day…….talk about stressful! …

You should SEE how much they eat in one sitting! There are several blackbird chicks on syringe feeds every twenty minutes…. along …
We’ve had some really atmospheric misty mornings and evenings recently, and I must say, I’m a huge fan of mist! Easter Sunday dawned, and hubs and I were wandering along a lonely stretch of canal in search of the perfect place to release the grebe that came into the rescue recently.

Last Saturday we actually had a little sunshine, so took full advantage of it and went to the beach, luckily we had it all to ourselves! It must have been warmish as daughter sat out in the garden with me while I worked like a pack horse! She’s now met a lovely chap who is …
The new rose bower is FINALLY up! The guy who made it spent three afternoons trying to erect it. As it’s on a windy corner it needed to be concreted in and of course each time the chap came the wind howled unmercifully, but it’s now up…..and about to be painted. Then it’s just a …
