Duna’s news

Here I am in Cornwall with two new half sisters that I didn’t know existed a month ago! I love being in the countryside with places to dig and get really dirty and it’s quite fun having a pack to run around with but something bad gets into me sometimes and I lose my temper and get into a fight with my new family. Usually it is when there is food around, or when we are getting ready for a walk and I want to be first out of the door. Suddenly I am snarling and snapping and I don’t know myself! 

Before we got to Cornwall we had a looooooong journey and one of the exciting parts was staying in London. Here are some of the places I visited – we were only there two days so I think I did quite well.
I got lots of attention in the streets as there aren’t so many dogs walking around the tourist parts! 
We walked all the way from Portobello Road to the South Bank and the Houses of Parliament. They designed London so dogs can do this by park hopping – Kensington Gardens to Hyde Park to St James Park to Green Park – and you hardly ever need to walk along a road.
Here we are at the Princess Diana memorial fountain (I wasn’t allowed to enter)

Then the ducks on the Serpentine. There were swans too but they tried to attack me

We had to cross the road here and I don’t know if you can see but the traffic light has a filter for HORSES to stop or go!

Buckingham Palace was busy and lots of people talked to me

Green Park and a bit of a rest because it’s quite a long way!

Arriving in Trafalgar Square – phew it was busy and noisy!

I felt a bit small and vulnerable when we arrived at the lions

Theatre land and more noise and traffic

I didn’t want to go to Picadilly Circus so we went back to the river and had something to eat at the South Bank with the London Eye in the background. (Thanks goodness there were long queues for that so we couldn’t go on it!)

It’s nice by the Thames with Big Ben striking the hours. Also….there are lots of lovely things to eat on the ground. I look a bit sheepish here don’t you think?

Too far to walk home so we took the underground – I didn’t really enjoy it

But it was lovely on the escalators

Baker Street is famous for something or someone isn’t it?

Next day we went to a lovely place called Hampstead Heath but it was like this

so I didn’t get to walk or run much.
London has some lovely countryside in it!
But although it was fun I was glad when we set off to drive west and we stopped places like this – it’s called Avebury and is one of Kate’s favourite places. And now mine!

  1. Dearest Duna,

    That is some adventure you are on. Go easy on yourself with your sisters. It is hard to travel and hard to be in a new place – it all takes some adjusting. You are lucky that dogs are allowed so many places in Europe and can go almost everywhere the two leggeds go. You remind me so much of my sweet old girl, your freckles, the goofy look you put on sometimes. And Kate is some fox! She loves you a lot. Thanks for filling us in!
