We are having a bit of heat around Granada today and so I have spent the chief of the afternoon at Ashford trying to fan myself into a bit of a cooler state. Lady Pigeon was able to accompany me on the visit today and I dare say she is finding herself more and more at home in the new estate. She took many pleasurable naps at my side this afternoon and even welcomed a couple of new visitors for a mid-afternoon tea. They stayed for a game of cards and some conversation and then were on their way again.
Following their departure, Lady Pigeon and I resumed the rigourous task of cleaning the ovens and cabinetry. Well, dear Diary, to be more precise, I resumed the cleaning whilst Lady Pigeon became rather lazy and napped again in the dining room. I am simply pleased that she is finding herself rather comfortable there, as it is a difficult thing for a hound to transfer her residence from place to place. She is adjusting quite well thus far.
It might have been my last visit to Ashford in a fortnight, however as I will be traveling soon to the north of the country. I am most eager to visit with my grandmother who I miss quite dearly. We are also to celebrate my Uncle and Aunt for there marriage of fifty years. That is a truly great accomplishment, indeed as I have only known a handful of marriages to have lasted even forty years. It is unfortunate it is not more on that account. Nevertheless, I applaud their devotion and esteem them for their excellent example. And yet that is next week. We leave tomorrow.
