Runnin around with Shula (n other visitors)

wow theres loads going on!!!

love the shula pics and those little piglets, that lily is fabulous
loved the newts and so many ramshorn snails too!!!

passionflowers and fruits are just fantastic

thank you for the pictures of the morning glory, they are lovely flowers ~ wish i could grow them!!!

What a delight, so much wildlife - Shula's gorgeous, of course. But newts! How lovely, I remember those used to be in the stream on Streatham Common when I was kid, loads of them. Haven't seen one for years and years...

All in one ! the best blog:-) loved the frogs, the dogs everything is very lovely and the little tomatoes, this is extravagant Stevie, wow!!!!

Thanks folks, pleasure : )

What a cute little puppy Shula is how big will she get? Lovely blog as always Stevie loved the surprise visitor from next door:)

Hi, Steve, what a Zoo, lol. At the first moment I thought you have some sort of parrot with no feathers (slug) in a polytunnel, lol. What sort of lizards do you have? Or is it newt?
Great crops of tomatoes :)))

Not sure Nana, she was a rescue puppy from a farm, yes I had to do a double take when a piglet came round the drive lol. Just a UK common Newt Kat, we have another here called the great crested newt , its larger but quite rare now.

What do you feed it with?

I assume you mean the newts Kat, I put most of them in the pond and assume they eat insects etc

Looks like simple management á la "help yourself" :)
Shula fed in neighbourhood, goose in communal pond, Gnut is homeless, etc. Lol.

That was lovely. Are you sure it's not Noah's Ark down there? Someone may have asked that before.It's great to see all the animals but I love seeing the dogs playing together and those adorable little piglets. Your Morning Glory is very pretty. It always reminds me of a story from the 'Rupert' annual when I was little. It was called Rupert and the ice flowers and the flowers were just like that.

o wow! there is really a lot going on:) and it's nice to have so many animals around and not being their owner, lol.
Masha just became a mummy - one black and one gingery;-)
the gingery one is very active, lol:)

It is a bit like animal farm over rhere at times. Oh wow kasy, I bet you are there with your camera, a fluffy blog coming soon?

aw kasy thats so sweet! how lovely!

not really with the camera yet. It's bit dark in the cupboard there and guess what became a home for the kittens?
My laundry bin. Next to it was a box - especially for Masha. But she just loves laundry bins, lol. Will try to take some pics tomorrow.

Is Shula a Shetland Collie ? My mother used to keep them, from childhood I remember the puppies.

Having visions of you chasing newts around the pond and pots with your camera!
That snail is/was HUGE!

Lovely piglets, pups and plants there Stevie :)

Not sure DB, I guess shes a collie of some description,
Cheers Lulu : )

Well what a lucky puppy finding a lovely home:)

she was diagnosed with a weak heart Nana and my neighbour was told she might go but seems full of life to us : )

oh poor little thing, i didnt realise that. lets hope its something that has corrected itself

To be honest we think it was a misdiagnosis, The clutch of puppies were rescued from a farm and not in good condition but i think they are all ok now : )

thats good!!!

all the very best shula! all that fresh air must be healthy!

Just catching up a bit before going away for the weekend and read your reply Stevie I am keeping my fingers crossed that the diagnosis was incorrect it's amazing what a lot of love and fresh air can do:) x

I do hope so but to be honest i think she is in exactly the right place, Everyday I get one or all of the others pass my window. Its a regular biscuit stop for them : )

the fresh air and the biscuits ~ that will do it ~ perfect!!

Lovely lot of photos to look at Stevie. Shula is adorable and I bet she gets lots of cuddles. Love the Morning glory picture. Such lovely rich colour in the flowers. I used to enjoy looking after all the animals when we had our smallholding years ago and it sure keeps you active. Thankyou for sharing.

Thanks Lindak, the morning glorys were courtesy of one Mrs Sticki. Shula is growing fast and love running away : )

When Gerry's dad was alive Stevie we bought him a border collie for his Birthday. We kept the puppy for a week and took him to Gerry's dad on the day. He called him Skipper. He turned out to be a lovely dog and used to love running along the beach where they lived.

so glad i gave you those seedlings stevie [and some to lulu] ~ especially as mine all died!!!!

Morning Glories all flowering away!

thats good!!
