Welcome to the daily diary of Lily & Rose, the West Highland White Terriers. The Blog begins from them being 4 weeks old!
Young At Heart
LILY & ROSE
Here are some photos of Lily & Rose. There are a few from the first time we saw them when they were just 4 weeks old. They would fit on your hand at this age and didn't look much like westies!
Its been a very busy day and evening my friend and I will post a more thoughtful offering in time for your morning reading. Suffices to say...I am not a religious man, I do not believe in what the Romans called destinas, I do not believe in a higher order, agnosticism or even atheism. I am essentially existentialist but...
...but my lovely Wendy lost her father yesterday morning. The devastating effect of the last ten days is keenly felt by family and friends....as it always will be, as you know. Me being me trying to be stoical and all Jean Paul Sartre has tried vainly to help the grieving by rationalising such stuff and sympathising not only as a friend but for someone I love deeply. And it is very testing...
I know that Buddhism maintains that everything that has a beginning, has an ending and if you can make your peace with that then all will be well....but I'm not even a spiritual person Sue so it kind of unnerves me to tell you that ...
Wendy’s favourite cake is a Bakewell.
I really didn’t know that, but I do now. Truly.
Such quality cannot fail...they really are SO tasty.
And for me, at this time... it is manna from Heaven.
Sue...I wish this didn't sound so cheesy and obvious (and the best I can say is quote John Cleese from "Brian"...."It's a sign") but ginger and shortbread are also favourites. This is most unusual. No word of a lie...and most unusual for Wendy to comment so. No kidding... and we can both still taste the butter and the stem? crystalysed? ginger...they are excellent. You know how you're supposed to taste tea and wine? Well we're doing that now with the ginger short bread. It's strange the way things sort of pan out isn't it? I'm going to have another bit and to hell with the kids
Thank you both. I'm so glad you both enjoyed them.
Losing a parent is something for which you are never ready, no matter the circumstances. It is as if a part of you has been taken away - and that feeling, although it subsides with time, never truly disappears. Wendy is bound to feel raw at the moment and I understand her pain all too well. Look after her.
I'm Sue and I'm now retired (early)! I used to be a headteacher in Northumberland but now I'm getting used to a new way of life. One that is less stressful and pressured hopefully!
I live with my husband, Charles, in Newcastle upon Tyne, with our two Westies, Lily and Rose.
We have just become grandparents!!
