Maggie's New Friend

We have a brand new friend in the village - Tara... She is a great big horsey thing and Maggie loves her and gets right in about her feet when we go walking and then has a girlie sulk when we put her back in her field.

Judging by this picture, its probably safe to say that the only reason that Maggie likes her is because Tara's bum makes hers look small. Did you know that some of the customers that come into the pub have a secret name for Maggie -
"J Lo"!

When we haven't been out with Tara, we have been very busy supervising the painting of the Function Room. Julie and James had lots of help from Ray, Dawn and Lynn and managed to get most of it finished in time. Fiona, who usually makes the scrummy cakes, made some pretty bunting which goes all the way around the room. Julie wants her to make some more but according to Mhairi, she is all "buntinged out" so we'll have to see what happens.


I managed to sneak into the first function and hide under one of the tables which luckily had some children on who shared their sausages rolls with me.... Maggie went in to help clean up the following day, but after the vacuuming had been done so she missed out big time. She did however find the balloons and a left over roll of ribbon, which she used to recreate the andrex puppy ad with through the bar downstairs until Debs spotted her leaving a trail right out of the front door.
