Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing ~ Jonathan Carroll

"Dogs are here to remind us life really is a simple thing. You eat, sleep, take walks, and pee when you must. That’s about all there is. They are quick to forgive trespasses and assume strangers will be kind. "
—  Jonathan Carroll, The Marriage of Sticks

A dog friendly cafe / tea room


Don't you just hate it when you're out and about with your canine friend and you can't get a cuppa because your dog isn't allowed in the cafe?

Well we've just found a wonderful little tea room (they serve delicious coffees too) on the North Cambridgeshire / Norfolk border where dogs are made very welcome.

 Just a few 100 yards off the A47 at Wisbech The Orchard Tea Room and Farm Shop is set in 8 acres of orchard where you can walk your dog. Yah! Clean water is provided and there's a bin for doggy "doos" and best of all you can take your dog into the tea room, muddy feet allowed!

It's a super little place that serves the most wonderful cakes, scones and light lunches (all day), the soup of the day comes highly recommended during these cold days. There's a log fire too, just in case you need to warm up after that walk.

If you're in the area give it a go ~ For further details, directions etc visit theorchardtearoom.co.uk and there's a blog to follow  http://theorchardtearoom.blogspot.co.uk/

Greatest pleasure of a dog - Samuel Butler quotation






The greatest pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him, and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself, too.

― Samuel Butler
