Lord Ralphington crossing the railway bridge en route to the beach.
After all these years, It still bears a bullet hole from WW2.

Iβm pissed off with myself this morning. π€¬
I didnβt close the freezer door properly yesterday, so itβs completely defrosted and most of the food is ruined.
Iβve only myself to blame I suppose. π
Ralph couldnβt give two monkeys. π

Weβve now been joined by Norman.
Norman is a 91 year old retired Merchant seaman (chief engineer) and Ralph loves him as he feeds him treats.
When he turned 90, he was told that he no longer has to pay for his beer. βΊοΈ
And quite right too!

Weβre on the train and off out to meet French Eddie and my old mate Jeff for a couple of beers. πΊ
Sundayβs beer was postponed, hence why weβre out today.
Cheers all!

Absolutely spot on!
The staff are running around like proverbial blue arsed flies as we speak. π€£π€£

Any minute now he'll be demanding the dining room sideboard be the centerpiece of 'service Γ la russe', a self-serve hot and cold buffet. He will require silver chafing dishes to keep his bacon, sausages and kidneys warm. A selection of cold meats and raised game pies. A platter of kippers and some kedgeree. Freshly baked croissants and traditional pastries and some fine marmalade and gooseberry jam. And a large silver samovar for the tea.

There was a time when Ralph wouldnβt let me out of his sight. π
Heβs been absent from the living room for a couple of hours and this is how I found him in my bedroom just now. π΄
Goodnight all.
Until tomorrow πΎπ

Good morning and a very happy sardine (and chicken breast) Sunday from Lord Ralphington!
Fortnum & Mason included the chicken for free with his food order this week. π
Actually, the staff picked them up from @LidlGB but we wonβt tell his Lordship. Ahem. π€«

Our gorgeous golden oldie, Marvel, has been enjoying his foster home. ππ΄ Marvel is the perfect hound - in his senior years, so he's a calm, relaxed, easygoing fella looking for a sofa to call his own. Please read his profile & apply to adopt him below:

His Lordship is zorsted and partaking in a spot of walldozing just now. π΄
In fairness to him, heβs walked just under 10 miles today, met lots of lovely people and had a fit of the zoomies on the beach.
Goodnight all.
Until tomorrow πΎπΎ
