On my travels with Dee, Sherlock Bones

23:01 | Posted by ingipops

We travelled a loooong way to get to York. So it was only right that when I got there, I had a little nap in the hotel room.

But soon we were on our way. Luxury travel only.

Well ... ok. We stopped for refreshment. The OJ was Sherlocks and I had to use the beer glass for support. Tis strong stuff oop north.

There is only one place to see the whole of York worth seeing. 275 steps up, I was a bit worn out and clung on for dear life: Top of York Minster

But what a view

York Minster had a space for a gargoyle. I think a Sirusgoyle is much more suitable don't you?

When in West Yorkshire... only one pub will do. Yes yes yes!!

Sirius does EMMERDALE!!!

Then we went over the Dales, this is up towards Kendal!

I went down under the Dales, and found a large wet sticky up object.

Ok, it was caving with lots of sticky up and droppy down objects. Sirigmites I think

I found a new house in Harrogate, don't you think Lord Sirius suits me?

Ahem. It was a long drive back home, and it was only one cig. honest.

SB had to go to London once we'd got back but then she went to visit Wendbert, Tegk69, and Snow. Wendbert and Teg took us to Bath... we had a bit of a splashing time in the Spa :)

And I got a bit excited (blush)

And fell sound asleep admiring the view

Only the best dogs get to go to the Spa, apparently

Bath does good coffee, ideal for getting over such a stressful swim

Sirius does the tourist trail

But is shocked at how undog friendly some places can be

Culture is in all trips. Isombard Kingdom Sirus Brunel here....

I build some kind of tunnel or something

And after all that effort, I needed a Bumpy hug before...

Going to the Avebury Stones and becoming all spiritual and hippy

Nearly at the top!

I reckon i could get there eventually!

Yaaaay Sirius the rock climber, and spiritual guru lets nothing get in his way.

Marlborough is good for resting after climbing so high!

So is Wendberts place. That's very very good for "resting"

But it's ok... any hangover is curable with a bumpy!

I had such a fun time with Dee on her travels, doing lots of interesting things and spreading the word about the fantastic work of the Dogstar Foundation.

If you want to invite me along on an adventure with you then you should contact my social seceratary ingipops@dogstarfoundation.com.

I wonder where I will be going next?

Sirius visits Jackysian on Anglesey

17:32 | Posted by ingipops

Here is what Jacky had to say abut my fantastic visit!

When he arrived he went slightly mad in the office!! Couldn’t control him and he went completely wild!!!

Firstly he helped himself to not only my desk but my coffee and computer!!! (think he was checking out his blog to see himself!!)

He then got stuck in the fax!! Boss wasn’t happy cos it’s cost a fortune to repair!

Then we couldn’t believe it, he insisted on doing a photocopy of himself….managed to stop him before he bared his bum for the office to see!

In the end we had to wedge him in the filing cabinet to calm him down!!!

Later that day he was happy because someone gave him a balloon to play with, we were concerned at one point because we thought he was going to float out the window!

And then by very special appointment he was allowed to visit the bridge of the HSS Explorer that travels from Holyhead To Dun Laoghaire. He got a great view from the window over Holyhead Port.

Sat himself in the Captains chair and played with his joystick!

But that wasn’t enough for Sirius…he had to stop by the gaming area onboard and have a gamble!!!

Just to prove he was in Wales, he insisted on being held up to the signs….and then the English one for those who don’t understand Welsh!!!

After a few days rest, Sirus was invited very kindly to RAF Valley!

He helped the staff there when the new Anglesey to Cardiff plane came into land, and even snuck onboard to play with some more joysticks!!

Then joy of joys…he found a red arrow!!! Couldn’t miss a photo opportunity like that!!

Much to his dismay the soldiers at RAF Valley then stuck him in the window wipers of the rescue helicopter…luckily they did remember to remove him before being called out!!

A bit of a let down from helicopters and jets but the little truck was fun…and being yellow it did match Sirius nicely!!

Some more messing around with the helicopters and then that was it. Finally time for Sirius to leave Anglesey. He’d had a great time, unfortunately he didn’t get to go horse riding, only because he was thought it wasn’t quiet manly enough and after all the ‘boys toys’ he’d seen that week he decided to give it a miss.
