ReplyDeleteAhh Kew really reminds me of my Dad...long story!.....wonderful photos Lorna...Nigels friend is a tree hugger x
ReplyDeleteIt's Augustus Aquatic! Mermaids and puffer fish, clamshells, and lily pads. Must be his Atlantic roots. He was born near the Messalonskee river in Maine but spent summers at our cottage on the bay near Acadia National Park. I'm glad his yearnings are being satisfied. He's really found a great home with you folks!

ReplyDeleteAh Kim that explains him falling for a mermaid (i have some news on that score but it's top secret yet)......i'll have to watch he doesn't run out in our garden and jump in our pond like the dog does...its only full of newts as far as I know .....there maybe mermaids lurking there who knows....Sirens waiting to lure him in.....xx
