Pippa goes to Jumpers



I took master and mistress out for a walk the other day.

I thought we could do a reconstruction of the Italian where we ate the other night and I could add it to my repertoire of reviewed restaurants. (I am going in for alliteration at the moment as well).

Anyway it was shut and all the tables and chairs were piled away. So we wandered up and down the nice promenade and I did lots of sniffs, and then we explored the bastion.

Then I realised I didn't know what a bastion was.

Here we are:

a projecting part of a fortification built at an angle to the line of a wall, so as to allow defensive fire in several directions.

Yes, that describes it well.

Here are master and I practising not looking at the camera after taking our lessons from Ao4. Ammy, I hope you think we are doing ok here.



And again. I think we are learning quite fast.



We had a fine walk around Jumpers Bastion. And then we went back along the promenade.

Exploring the wall on the promenade.



Hmmm. I see a little dog.



See the peep-oo holes for the guns to poke through when people were trying to attack Gibraltar?



Happy Pippa.



There is always something interesting to look at.



No, it's not my tongue (at least I don't think it is), it's a flower.



Having a good sniff, lots of interesting smells and pee-mails.



I see mistress has snuck in a naughty flower shot for my last picture. Thought I had cured her of that habit.

Darling Pippa,
It's always nice to see you taking Master out somewhere interesting for a walk. I have to see if I can find somewhere historical to take Dad. He loves that kind of stuff.

Love,
Eva

Pippa,

Basking at the Bastion brings beautiful smiles to Pippa's followers.

What a wonderful afternoon stroll. Great job ignoring the camera. You look especially strong and handsome at the Bastion.

Loving Life,

Lola

Really well done. Stormy is proud of you!

Pippa,
It looks like you had a fabulous time at the bastion, but we are very sorry to hear that you were not able to eat at the Italian restaurant, especially since they tend to have very tasty buttered bread there. Please tell mistress we enjoyed the flower shot. You should try to be accomodating of her aesthetic impulses now and again.

It's too bad that you couldn't review the Italian food. Our mom cooks Italian all of the time and we get samples sometimes too. Thanks for the good thoughts for Dunkin. I wish I could be there to sniff the flowers with you.

Love, Guinness

That is an interesting flower so I will forgive your secretary. You look quite dashing. I saw a dog on the teevee the other day who looked like you but I don't remember what kind it was.

wally.

ps. Ethel is enamored of her brother. I'm not sure what to make of it.
