Lytham Hall

My sister in-law introduced us to Lytham Hall yesterday.  What a lovely place!  I had a walk round the grounds 15 years or so ago and how it’s changed!  After walking alongside the long driveway leading to the house, which looks very smart these days, we wandered past the lake and gardens before settling down to a pot of tea, and hot chocolate for the boys, in the dog friendly cafe.  We will definitely be back there.

Moving house with the dog

We moved out of our house just over two weeks ago.  It’s odd as I thought I’d really miss it, but I’ve not. Happily, we are staying with relatives until we can move in to the new house, maybe in a couple of weeks.

Marley has settled brilliantly. I think he loves it here....calm at home during the week and lots of comings and goings at weekends. He has been in daycare most days as we can’t leave him alone at all in our temporary home. He seems to love it there too, and now drags me to the door and off he goes without a second thought. The impact of all this change is the opposite of what I’d expected. He is much calmer, hasn’t been jumping on furniture, sleeps with us all night and is excited to get back home. He went to the groomers yesterday who thought we’d swapped him for a different dog!

Walks have been great these past few weeks. Lytham is just a 10 minute drive so we’ve had plenty of walks on the green and a few walks on Blackpool Prom and up to Bispham.  I love it being so close to the sea.  We’ve not been on the beach in this windy weather but that will come. Daffodils are out and spring is coming. Life is good. It feels like we’re waiting for an apocalypse to happen so I’m so happy we have enjoyed this time.
