My Name and Places, Plus a Post card?

 Well I don't know where to start on this one, I seems George is popping up all over the place!!


Your probably looking at that photo and thinking whats that got to do with the name George, well we didn't think it had anything to do with it, but a couple of weeks ago mom decided that I could do with a new header photo and thought Lilleshall Hill would be the place.
It looked to be quite high, but turned out to only take 15 minutes to climb!!.


Now wind and my fuzz hair don't go, sorry Eric I forgot to get me some must ash wax!!


so we had to move around to get out of it, oh look a game of cricket 



Rights lets get onto this Monument and have a look,
Now I call these BIG STEPS!!
(you will have seen this photo in the last post!)


Mom had to give me a leg up.
This is the view from the other side


We carried on walking around it, and found two plaques



and this one


Which had on it

TO THE MEMORY OF
GEORGE GRANVILLE LEVESON GOWER K.G.
FIRST DUKE OF SUTHERLAND
THE MOST JUST AND GENEROUS OF LANDLORDS
THIS MONUMENT IS ERECTED
THE OCCUPIERS OF HIS GRACES SHROPSHIRE FARMS
AS A PUBLIC TESTIMONY THAT HE WENT DOWN TO HIS GRAVE
WITH THE BLESSINGS OF HIS TENANTS ON HIS HEAD
AND LEFT BEHIND HIM UPON HIS ESTATES
THE BEST INHERITANCE WHICH A GENTLEMAN OF ENGLAND
CAN BEQUEATH TO HIS SON
MEN READY TO STAND BY HIS HOUSE HEART AND HAND
1833

That was news to us, so we now call it the George Monument.
 Lets get on to the photos that my furiends have been kind enough to send in.

The other thing she reckons I broke her watch, yea right I can't stop batteries from working!! well she went out to get a new one, and where did she go, yep George at Asda! like I've said before me names all over the shop!

Here's the post if you would like to know how I got me name

 

So please keep sending the George places in, and thanks again to all the furiends that has made a contribution to my collection.

Now also this week I got a post card from some special furiends of mine



Those Elgin Pugs just look at that pretty building its called The Butterman's Mansion built in 1889. It is located within The ELGIN Historic District, hey is that where you got your name from? Thanks So much, I'm running out of room on my bedroom wall, so mom said she will get me a memory box, so I can put all these nice things in. Then on rainy days I can get them out and look at all the lovely things you have sent me. She also said she would print out all the photo's you have emailed me and they can go in the box to.   
See Yea George xxx

Bertie's Field Trip.

Bouncing Bertie is having a field trip and would like furiends to come along, but  there is a twist in the T'ale, he want's evdence that you are well prepared for field work in Scotland!!
Check out his post for suggestions that might get you on the trip. I have picked up on this one,
"Maybe you have some photos illustrating that boulders, cliffs, mountains and midges are totally your thing"




So here goes why I think I'm up to it.


Adverse Weather conditions, from a pup






I Can Read Maps and Sign Posts 





Tidy up after meself, drink out of a bottle, no need to carry a bowl!  





As you all know, Love Steps of all Shapes and Sizes







Bridge's of all Shapes and Sizes








 Can cope when the Unexpected Happens, no tail down here!







Climbed a number of hills, OK only hills not Mountains!!

The Wrekin





The Stiperstones Twice!!





Lilleshall Monument

After Steps Rock Climbing is my other favorite pass time 







What do yea say Bertie, Please can I go on your field trip



Pleasesssssssssss, I'll give the midges a miss if you don't mine!!! and promise to leave the beer at home : (

Waiting to hear George xxx 

By the way, a while back on the post "All Change", I said that I'm using google reader, to follow you, I may not comment on all posts but do try and read them. Well over the weeks  thought it funny that some of you had not done any  posts!! so checked, it seams it does not pick up all blogs! it might be something on the setting I need to do, but I've gone back to the dashboard.
Thought I'd just bring it up in case you might be having the same thing happen.

You might have noticed I'm now on Fuzzbook, so if you'd like to get a bit more close and personal with me!!, come be my friend.

See Yea George xxx
