City of the Dogs





A cold day in Buxton, the opera house open, more dogs that you can shake a stick at - collies, spaniels
and Westies mostly - and low sun.  Snap of the day was a merlin flying across the road near Hollinsclough.  Just when you need a camera!

It Wasn't Me!



Nuffink to do with me, Grandad.  I was abducted by aliens and when I asked them to change my nappy they dumped me back in this box.  I mean, look at my boat - I'm innocent, I bin framed.

Minions



Sadie and Meredith last week.  Sadie was chain-watching 'Despicable Me 2', and drew a Minion in the corner of her chalkboard.
