Manly Monday!


Tom: You know we had company yesterday. It was a really nice day and all of #1's cousins enjoyed the fresh country air and the great food (we served mostly locally grown food from producers we know). After lunch, the whole family went off to meet Vidock and enjoy a carriage ride organised by M.S and Mr. A, and implemented by the ever lovely Sissy and Sireine. I have to tell you that carriage rides are very manly and are well on their way to becoming one of my (many) favourite things!


Here is a view of the girls:


I also helped Ms. S explain all about Percheron horses:


I am a great believer in natural garlands to enhance manliness. #1 snapped this photo of me last week:


And last but not least from me today, another portrait that #1 took last week. She says I look super-manly in this one!



Bibi-Chan: It is very manly to use tree trunks as scratching posts!


And to hang out with your big brother:


AND to "bask" in the sun in a basket that one of our guests forgot here yesterday!



Vidock: I had lots and lots of admiring visitors yesterday and I gave everyone cuddles!



But as everyone knows, the manliest thing of all is to get yourself photographed with your #1!


Have a great week, everyone!

    A very manly Monday to start the week off well. What lovely sunshine as well for your guests yesterday - it looks as though you had a great time Tommy and enjoyed your ride in the carriage. We bet all the lady dogs are swooning at your picture in the grass too.

    There is so much manliness at your house that pretty soon it may spill over into testosterone Tuesday!

    we meant 'so much' ...

    Murray's Mom did something silly with the computer this morning and anything is showing up in tiny script! She needs Sorcha home from school to sort the computer out!!

    Love all the pictures, but especially Vidock with #1! Happy Belated Birthday, Vidock! I will try to post some better pics of Beau in the next day or so -- I told BB that the pics she posted made Beau look like a mule!!!!!!
    How fun to go in a carriage ride in the countryside!

    Family fun is good fun!We love the pic of the horses pulling the carriage through the treelined path.Prettyful.
    Tommy you are such a handsome boy and that is shown to advantage when you "point".

    Hi VK - lovely pictures - sorry you had computer/blogger problems recently. Which Canadians came to see you? Some from Toronto?

    Still rainy here and very cold in the frozen north! Love, the anonymous redhead on THE Island>

    What a lovely weekend for all! You do love coaching, don't you Tommy. Will you learn to drive? You're so good with horses.

    In your portrait today, you look just like your sister. I do hope we see more of little Emily. When she she looks like she is flying..

    Such gorgeous men in your family! Feline, canine and equine: all superb!
