Belated Happy Easter from tropical England. We had a houseful of visitors including Blackberry the cat, who made it clear with tooth and claw that he did not wish to meet a dog, ever. So Blackberry stayed in the front part of the house and garden, while Otto kept to the back, his usual domain. It's possible that Otto is thinking of a career as a builder's mate as he's keen on bricks, logs and flints which he piles up in a heap on the lawn. Better than chewing the door frames, I suppose. He was also keen on retrieving pingpong balls unfortunately. Meanwhile, lying in the sun on the front porch, Blackberry kept aloof from all the sports, human and animal.
Smiled a lot while reading The Uncommon Reader by Alan Bennett, a short novel about what happened when the Queen suddenly became a keen reader. Here's an excellent Guardian review. A suitable book for the Kindle as it is subtly amusing rather than complicated. Do read it.

He's growing rapidly isn't he? A real cutie... a naughty looking baby :)
But had to say I bsolutely love your garden. Just how a garden should be.Gorgeous.. xxxx
Otto is beginning to look like a teenager. My friend's golden pup is also into construction, only she's working on a hole to China! Hope you have outlooks to your lovely garden from all over the house, Susie.
Otto is such a handsome chap, even though he likes to collect the odd brick or two.
Thanks for the tip on the book, it does look good.
Yes, he does look rather like my lanky teenage son! Handsome boy though.
And we've had glorious weather haven't we?

What a gorgeous puppy - and amazing plants. I loved the book too - his sense of humour is spot on.
Thank you very much, Bernardine, most gratified, and thank you Faye, Debs, BSM and Flowerpot. Luckily you can't see weeds if I take photos far enough away.
I thoroughly enjoyed The Uncommon Reader, an appropriate read for this week!
