Lunch for a Pound!

Yes, that was the promise at a pub in Wareham, Dorset, which must be one of the most dog friendly towns in Britain.

Older readers of Mr Murph's Blog will remember that he and his understudy Oz had firm views on "Baker's Complete" and insisted on turning the "Complete" back into an adjective and adding the noun "Shite" to the phrase. To see it on a pub menu made Oz have quite a turn, whilst his less picky sister was keen as mustard.


It doesn't seem to have done little Lil much harm as we were able to let her off on the beach again this morning (second time in three years!) and she ran faster than modern physics predicts should be theoretically possible given her short hairy little legs. Perhaps she's proving the existence of the Higgs-Bassett Constant?


Anyway I can thoroughly recommend the Isle of Purbeck for a holiday break, particularly if you enjoy walking. If the sun comes out, as it did this morning, you just can't beat it!

That middle photo brought a happy tear to my eye. Lovely doggles.

Z said...

You're giving those dogs a wonderful holiday.

Dave said...

Why is it that children's menus always appear more interesting than adult ones?

Sarah said...

They sure look like they/you were having fun. Just looking up the isle of purbeck and packing a bag.

Roses said...

Glad everyone is having fun. It looks fantastic.

And Lily came back?

Even with the promise of Bakers Complete Shite?

Result.

I see the Dog menu. Where's the Duck menu?

Billy said...

There's something on the children's menu that doesn't feature chips!

This is really a holiday for the dogs, isn't it? You're just along as the designated driver.

All they need now is a good afternoon's chasing of rabbits to work off the Bakers Complete ...

Annie: Thanks - they ARE lovely Doggles!

Z: It's back to work for them this week.

Dave: Only if you come from North Kent.

Sarah: It's fun fun fun without all that flying! (Although the M3 and M25 made the journey longer than that to Morocco)

Roses: She nea...a..e...r..lyy didn't when she forgot where she was and started to climb a cliff.

Geoff: We ducked that menu due to the salmonella scare.

Billy: I bet it's really really popular !!

MDF: I think you've seen through the whole charade!

Macy: And they found a Deer this morning....
