Wonderful Duke – Xmas 2021

This was the second time we’ve looked after Duke who is quite a character. He was as always, very pleased to see us when we arrived in late December, after looking after Dougie in Tunbridge Wells.

We were greatly looking forward to this housesit as well as seeing our relatives in Wales who live nearby. It had seemed such a long time over lock-down the previous two festive seasons with Covid 19, and we were unable to see them at all, especially over Christmas which is such a family time.

However, this Christmas proved to be slightly different, it turned out that Duke’s owner was unable to travel for her planned holiday due to Covid complications. So being the kind and generous person that she is, she invited us to stay with her and Duke over Christmas. This proved to work out quite well as we all got on famously and she enjoyed having company after so long being alone with Duke. We enjoyed taking Duke out for long walks on the beaches and nearby farm fields.

We experienced a delightful if unexpected Christmas in Wales. And luckily enough we’ve been invited back again in summer 2022. We will look forward to seeing Duke and his owner once more.
