Amigos, I have had a good few days in Cornbeefwall!
First of all, we get to sleep LOTS. Oooooh, no more 4:00am musters to get ready for the train that is probably on strike or nearly blown up by an old bomb. Claro que sí, we still wake up at 4am and we think, “Donde estamos, where are we?”. But then we remember where we are, say “Ha, ha, ha!” and go back under the covers .
Second, I got to see my very best amigo Reuben yesterday. Ojalá, it was the BEST, lo mejor. We ran and ran, he cleaned my ears, and I stole his bed. Some things never change! ML tried to get a photo of us, but we could not stop to pose, so you get this:
Then today ML said it was time to use our National Trust card for the first time in 2024. No, amigos, I have no idea what that means either, but we did go to one of our favorite places to walk. There is a nice garden with lots of special smelly plants and I met some rain deer friends:
And found some Halloween pumpkins?
We did a little walk on the coast path but not too much because…ewweee…too much mud. I do not like mud so we may need to stick to the beach and sand for a while. On the other hand , I found deleeecious rabbit poo to snack delicately on, and that ALMOST makes me overlook the horrible mud. I will think about this dilemma a leeetle more.
Here I am from far
And here I am from close. Que guapo , no?

I wonder what Carbon thinks, one minute, warm cities, the next, bracing sea air and green grass

Qué? Does not every dog have the same life, going to sleep in their own TARDIS and waking up in a place that is completely different? Claro qué sí, I also think that every dog started life in dog prison and then picked out their own ML (or equivalent) to break them out of said dog prison. Eso es la vida, that is life, no?I wonder what Carbon thinks, one minute, warm cities, the next, bracing see air and green grass

Just as you arrive, we are on our travels (Majorca). The dogs are happily with our friends and their friend Gus, the crazy Golden Retriever.
But we must make a date when we return, for you to come here or us come there.

I would love the breeder and also the person who 'threw him away' know what a fabulous life he has.

That is muy simpatico, very nice to hear.It is the best life a dog could have
I also believe there are many best kinds of life a dog can have. Someday maybe ML and I will stop getting in the TARDIS and that will be muy bueno too. If we had a forever house someday, I would like to have one of these ‘fire in a box’ like @Candy ’s GGJ. Qué divertido!Claro qué sí, even if I ever stop travelling , I will still be a super model. Once a Spanish gentleman super model, always a Spanish gentleman super model!

Today’s Big Walk was at the Perranporth dunes where there are some interesting ruins of very old (1000 AD) churches. Because we had a full sunny day, everyone was out with their humans , which meant I got to play and play. Qué bien! ML says we earned our dinner and sofa cuddle time tonight!
Here I am offering a captivating smile in front of the ruins of the oldest church. It kept getting covered in sand, so eventually the important bits were moved inland, so only the foundation is still there.
A Celtic cross - we saw lots of these on our trips to Ireland
Here is the other church, almost completely under water today - usually it is only a little wet, but today it was more like an outdoor swimming pool!
Zoooooooomies!
Another big smile overlooking the bay. Perranporth is a very long and wide beach, more like what I am used to from Spain and California than the typical beach here in Cornwall. I am a beach expert , you know. There were lots of surfers today - maybe ML will take ME surfing this week ! I am ready to put on my wetsuit and ride the waves!

I just love Carbon's smiles. Fascinating difference from Venice/Rome to the ancient ruins of Cornwall.

Today’s walk was muy bueno, amigos - lots of deleeecious sheep poo! Not as good as alpaca poo, but much better than cow poo. I am a poo expert.
I was so happy, I offered my famous bunny-tooth smile, which made ML laugh for some reason. Por qué, why? Is it not very guapo and dignified?
Here is another: I like how my shadow makes me look muy tiny and ML looks like a big giant!
