  This year I spent my birthday with my beloved in laws who live in Newark, Nottinghamshire. The weather was lovely on the day and G and I enjoyed taking our doggie for a walk in the beautiful nearby  woodland. Etsy Shop 

Just a few photos of my dear in-laws' beautiful garden, taken on our recent visit, and a couple of us happy family who got to enjoy it together.

Last Saturday, during our visit to G's parents in Newark, Nottinghamshire, we all went to the alpaca farm at the JandJ Alpaca Centre & Coffee Shop near the village of Dry Doddington. It was fascinating to see so many beautiful alpacas in one place. When we arrived they were all rather far away in the field, but the owners soon put a bit of food in the troughs near the coffee shop to entice them over. We drank delicious coffee and watched the alpacas through the coffee shop window. I, of course, went outside to take photos, too. It's a lovely place where I could spend all day!

At the weekend we went to G's parents' house near Newark in Nottinghamshire. We love staying with them in their beautiful spacious house and always have a relaxing and most pleasant time. Now we have a puppy the visits are even more enjoyable; it feels like the puppy Midge has rounded off the homely family atmosphere. Fernwood, the village where my in-laws live, is a peaceful and quite pretty place with lots of trees and grass areas. It is very dog friendly and great for dog walks. I particularly like the large meadow and woodland area that stretches behind the houses on the road leading through the estate. Here are a couple of shots I took there walking our doggy at the golden hour before sunset.
