Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

Greetings from a very stormy Cumbria! We have had lashings of wind and rain for the past few days which has made going for our walks a bit of a washout. We have been caught out in heavy rain a few times and have no photos from our walk today. It is also getting a bit nippy with a very cold wind today.

We have posted a cute photo of Daisy - her tongue hangs out of her mouth due to the lack of teeth to keep it in so we just couldn't resist!

We would just like to remind you of the Christmas photo competition - we now have four entries so don't be shy, you can post your entry to us if you can't get to the salon.

We would like to take this opportunity to remind you the salon will be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week (29th and 30th November).

Hello from Morag, Martini and Daisy

The weather here in Cumbria has been a real mixed bag over the last few days - today we started off with rain and fog and ended up with glorious sunshine! On Sunday we decided to go for a walk at Whinlatter just above the Visitor Centre. It is possible to walk all the way up to the Lord's Seat which has panoramic views of the Lake District, however, Martini and Daisy are not fell walkers so we didn't reach anywhere near the top but we enjoyed the walk in any event. We don't usually walk on that side of the forest and Martini and Daisy ended up very dirty and covered in pine needles. We have posted a photo taken on our walk on Sunday in the forest.

The Lake District looks spectacular at this time of the year. The autumn colours are glorious at the moment and even our cherry tree leaves have turned all shades of gold and rich red. We are very lucky to live in such a lovely corner of the world.

Christmas will soon be upon us and the diary is already quite full for the week before Christmas so if you need an appointment that week booking is advisable! Don't forget the photo competition and the Christmas raffle!

We will take this opportunity to remind you that the salon will be closed next Tuesday and Wednesday (29 and 30 November) but you can leave a message or send a text and Morag will call you back as soon as possible.

Hello Everyone from Morag, Martini and Daisy

We missed writing a blog last Sunday as we got carried away doing various outside jobs and just ran out of time. Our very kind neighbour lent us his pressure washer so we pressure washed around the back of our house (Martini and Daisy helped of course) as the concrete areas can be a more than a bit slippery in icy weather. We washed the car (although it looks like it hasn't been done for months now), we cleaned the salon, had a mountain of washing and went on our walk so before we knew it the day had gone.

We do very much hope that all our little four legged friends weren't too stressed by the fireworks last weekend and everyone was safe. Martini and Daisy slept through bonfire night with the exception of two very loud bangers around 8.30pm from a near neighbour's garden which sent Martini running to the back door to investigate and woke Daisy from her nap!

We have posted a photo of our walk at Silloth today. As you can see, we think we had Silloth completely to ourselves with no-one else in sight. We had a lovely walk right along the front and we walked back along the pavement just to confuse Daisy so she would walk all the way back to the car (if we turn around to walk back she will just sit down).

Don't forget your photo for the photo competition for Christmas and the chance to win a gift basket - there is still time to enter and the competition will be judged on 16 December. There is also a Christmas raffle with 10 great prizes which will be drawn on 17 December.

Please note that the salon will be closed all day on Tuesday, 29 November and Wednesday, 30 November (this includes evening appointments). Apologies for any inconvenience, however, you will be able to leave a telephone message or send a text and Morag will call you back as soon as she can.
