Saturday Steps


I'm going back to the summer with this one, it was taken when we went to the scarecrow festival at Sheriffhales, Shropshire.
On the steps up to the church.
I'm all Scarecrowed Out !!!  is the link to the post.



Now in the week I had an email from Samantha and Avalon, they had sent me two photos of some steps they had taken, at a place called
The Dipsea Trail,  Mill Valley, California. 
Take a close look at the second one, not very offen would you see them! 




Looking at the web site there are three flights of steps as tall as a fifly story building!!Wow
I think that would be hard going for me!!
To see more about them and the races they have there, please take a look at the web site

If any of you come across or know of any interesting steps, I would love to hear from you, be it a web page about them or a photo, I will add it to Saturday Steps.

See Yea George xxx

Opps, forgot!!!



 Update on FG'S Travel Blogg well it seams he's all over the place!!!
 to many to put on here!!
 even giving advice about roads!!
His Air Miles are now on the blog 41,739 miles!!! 
If you are interested in what he is getting up to, or would like to join in, just go via the link on my side bar.
I think he has earned his wings. 
So I will not be updating about him on my blog,
 he will be joining me sometimes on my posts.
 Thanks to all the folks that have so far taken part, and made it a very enjoyable and funny Travel Blog : )
Without your input his blog would not work. 
Thanks George xxx

GEORGIE MI MAN! MI FRIEND! MI MATE!!!! Oh...I have to go tomorrow to get you scanned and printed so I can take you to school, son! The children are waiting for you to come and charm them with that special smile of yours They already know Balzac, but I think they would get a real boot of of you! Balzac is too scrappy for them!

THANK YOU DEAREST JAN for your sweet comments! I do hope you are on the mend; too many dears are sick right now.....it is SOOOOOOO cold out here, but the snow is fabulous. ENJOY YOURSELVES THIS WEEKEND!!!

Those church steps have seen some serious people treadin' over time. Look how worn they are.

Don't think any of us will try those huge steps.

XXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella

The Daily Pip said...

Those steps look fierce! That deer is sure pretty. I love deer, especially barking at them, but for some reason they don't seem very afraid of me.

Your pal, Pip

Sam said...

Blogging about steps - what an interesting and unique idea. I'll have to look around this island of mine and see if we have any cool steps for you. I can think of one off of the top of my head ("steps" that the roots of trees make in one section of the woods), but we can't get there right now with all of the snow!

sprinkles said...

My hip hurts just thinking about having to walk up those steps. Those are fierce!!!

Golden Samantha said...

Wow - you did us some justice with this post, George! And really, we has never done these steps, but a few years ago, Mom did fur training heart/lung purposes!!! She don't know if she can do that again, but it would be worth it!
Big Hugs xoxoxo

Okay, I like hiking quite a bit, but that looks like A LOT of steps! Even Morgan would be tired after that!

We are so glad to hear that Flat George is having so much fun! He's become a very seasoned traveler!

Whenever I see steps, I think of you, George! There are a lot of steps and I don't think I am as fit as you.
I'm so glad that FG is touring around the world, what a wonderful life he has! Lucky guy!!!

♥I am Holly♥ said...

love that picture of you smiling! That place sure has a lot of steps!! Love the deer next to the steps!! If we ever come across any steps, we'll send them to you. Around here, all we seem to have are lots of big rocks! Lots of love, Holly and mom

Castles Crowns and Cottages said...

MI MAN GEORGE! Oh, do I EVER know you scrappy, CHEEKY FELLOWS! But I LOVE you all with all my heart. I wouldn't have it any other way. A dog that doesn't get into a little mischief is NOT for me...and a pooch with your SMILE and Balzac's antics is up my alley!!!!!!

No need to speak French son, all languages are welcome!

BISOUS! Anita and BALZAC!!

Sage said...

My Mom climbed down (and then had to come back up) 312 steps to a lighthouse. She said those were the steepest steps she's seen!

We checked out Flat Georges and downloaded him! He'll be fun to take along.

My Mind's Eye said...

Happy Saturday George...well it is probably going to be Sunday when you read this. MOL
Mom has been messing with her new camera all day trying to download the software and it just will not LOAD!!! She is very frustrated.

Those are some fiercely high and exhausting steps in CA...but we love the deer.

Hugs Madi

Angelsdoor * Penny said...

Hello George... I don't know, that looks like ALOT of steps to me but I know you would love to give it a go yes?
I hope mum is on her way to recovery.. Looks as if we were bit by the same nasty bug.. I am on the mend.
Enjoy your Sunday

Lola and also Franklin, too said...

Oh, I have to make a point of visiting FG's blog and see what he's gotten up to. Meantime you look great on your steps, as always, George. You are just soooo cute. I know I always say that, but isn't it true?

Anonymous said...

Great pics on your steps. Wow was a tall trail of stairs and a deer too. Double the fun

the teacher's pets said...

Those steps in California look a bit steep and a bit hard to manage climbing up so I think I'll stay away from them! I prefer the steps you are standing on instead!
We have made a copy of George and we will be pawticipating in the World Tour soon and will write all about "his" adventures! Pawmise!
Also, thank you for mentioning that George might need some counseling regarding his need to bark at the sound of the accordion so if he would like to receive immediate attention I'd be happy to send a questionnaire about his addictions asap. Now, I think barking along while his dad sings is too adorable for counseling and I think George should keep up the good work in that "department".

Peggy Frezon said...

I always love seeing you on the steps. I'll keep an eye out for some interesting steps to send you. Fun keeping track of FG too!

Rubie and Poots (her Mum) said...

Hi George, how handsome you are. You remind me of my friend Hattie, an Airedale terrier. I got to know you through Santas blog, and are now following as a friend! I'm also going to talk mum into letting me host FG in Adelaide, Australia soon! Tail Wuggles, Rubie.

Road Dog Tales said...

Cool steps! Mom & Dad have been to Mill Valley and Stinson Beach! But, we don't think they climbed those steps! They're super TALL!

Angel Gracie=^o.o^= said...

Stopping in to make sure that you all made it home safely from my birthday party. Thank you so much for coming it was so nice to spend the day with you. I hope you had a good time.
That is the only way to have the good weather I am afraid to say is look back at the summer photos. Good idea. All that is here is cold and snow. How about at your place?

Scooter said...

Hey George!
Wow, you have the coolest steps...always. Love the one with that huuuuge big deer! Great pix.
Grr and Woof,
