May I correct a point on Prescote Manor? It was owned by Mr Richard & Mrs Anne Crossman and was the family home that Mr Crossman returned to at weekends to dictate his subsequent 3 volumes Diaries of A Cabinet Minister. The Crossmans had been given the property by Mrs Crossman's father in the 1950's. The diaries were the inspiration for Yes Minister. Regretfully Mr Crossman died from cancer in 1974 before the publication of the diaries. His wife who survived him for many years was one of his literary executors (along with Michael Foot MP and one other) who battled with the Wilson Government to get the diaries published. In the late 60's/early 70's Anthony & Susan Crosland (a fellow Labour politician) bought a property in a nearby village. It was whilst working on Government business as Foreign Secretary in 1977 that Tony Crosland suffered a fatal stroke.

There are a couple of pictures of him on our blog pippa13.blogspot.co.uk/. Monty's is a bit big as he is still a young lad and rather slim, so I would not take him out for a walk with it on (like you we walk when it is cooler anyway), but it is great when he is on the back of the boat - you do need to keep the water topped up though.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991436741087480533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490581806872830289.post-44484383312756686172013-07-15T20:42:15.054+01:002013-07-15T20:42:15.054+01:00Hi Elly

I have also had him and Floyd swimming each day to cool them.<br />Lesley, aka G-O-W Nb Yarwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806115768980012184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490581806872830289.post-52498540299889534612013-07-15T12:43:56.576+01:002013-07-15T12:43:56.576+01:00Leslie, we had a black lab who used to lie in the ...Leslie, we had a black lab who used to lie in the sun like that too. We'd have to lock him inside to prevent a meltdown.<br />I usually read blogs in reader but today clicked on your blog. Got a good giggle from your pet hates.
