I was always quite good at those ‘the dog ate my homework’ excuses when I was at school – my mother will vouch for that!  But for quite sometime I have been without a four legged friend at which to point the finger. Not any more!  So now, without further ado, I will introduce the reason why  an exciting,  colourful and in depth post about Great Dixter has not yet been forth coming… 

A teeny tiny spot on the landscape, called Higgins.

He’s very sweet…

…in fact completely adorable. It’s a shame about the noise like a crateful of seagulls when put to bed at night!  So we’re working on that, and the five am starts!

He’s keeping very busy…

…and helping me with my diary, so I’m sure we’ll be back in the swing of things very soon.
