Roll Rite Stones



Good Evening All

Well here we are, another two weeks gone by and it hardly seems any time at all.
The weather has been fantastic and far too hot for me and my mistress. My heart's been going like jack hammer and I have had to have my own personal fan to keep cool at night. My mistress has been just wilting.

It's has been quiet in comparison with the flying trip last blog.
The most interesting thing to date is that my mistress went up to the Roll Rite Stones in Oxfordshire with Himself. It must have been the hottest day in the year so far and they went with friends for a picnic.
The Roll Rites have an interesting story. A witch promised an ancient king that if he could see a certain hill from where he stood he would win an important battle. It looked as though he would but the witch played a trick on him and he what he saw was not the hill he was supposed to and so he lost his battle and he and his knights were turned to stone. The witch turned herself into a bleeding elm tree to watch over them. It is said that if you can count the stones and come to the same number three times then you may make a wish but the stones never make the same number twice.
At home we managed to take a great photo of my friend Ringo as in Ringo Dozy Paws
and a rather nice one of me. What do you think?
Well that's it for now
Take care of yourselves and your owners

Oh that legend sounds wonderful - did your Mistress count the stones?

Please stay cool Mr. Samwise, the heat can be tough on us pups!
