Milton Keynes and Wareham

Last Sunday the guy from Milton Keynes picked us up and took us all to his house. Got there about 10. Went on 3 walks looking for suitable water for Dainty. First walk the lake was fisherman only. Second we found a river but the bank was too high. The last walk was along the canal but we gave up after about 20 minutes as it would be too far on a hot day. We had a great Chinese on the night and started back at 6. Ang wanted a breakfast so on the way back we stopped at a really expensive place and had the worst breakfast we’d ever had. Ang couldn’t finish hers and it took absolutely ages to get served. We got back and fed the dogs. Dainty had refused to go to the toilet in his garden but seemed to enjoy being out in it. Buster loved it and even made friends with the neighbour’s dog.
On my birthday Ang got her sister to dog sit and we went to Wareham for a meal. We sat at the new art venue at the side of the river as we were early for the restaurant. We had a lovely meal and took a slow walk back to the station looking in all the shops on the way. Sunday I popped over to Parkstone to meet Ang’s sister to drop her teabags we got for her in our delivery on Saturday. Sunday was a lazy day and I spent a lot of time reading posts on the BBC forum.

Another letdown

Last Sunday Ang went to Milton Keynes to visit a possible exchange. She went with her friend Helen and her boyfriend. She left at 8.20 and didn’t get back til 10.57 at night. I met her train at Hamworthy station with the dogs. The day was really hot and she walked for hours when they were there. She took lots of pictures while she was there. Helen loved the concrete cows in the town centre.
On Thursday Ang’s sister came over to housesit while we went up to Milton Keynes with the dogs but the guy rang at 10.15 on the night to cancel as he doesn’t want to exchange now. Ang really fed up with it as we spoke on the phone earlier in the day and he was going to come down in his car and pick us up earlier than we arranged on Monday so we could get up there earlier. Jane getting delayed by builders so cattery might not be ready on time.
