A nice trip to Exbury Gardens: sun, flowers, photo opps

and then Jinks suddenly decided to roll in something unmentionably smelly & disgusting. We were trying to clean him up with tissues and handfuls of grass when a passing lady asked him if he'd found some Chanel No.5 and gave us a pile of wet wipes from her handbag. Definitely a moment of happiness!
Needless to say that at refreshment time I didn't buy him a doggy ice cream. I kid you not: in a little tub with a lid but can't say if there was a wooden spoon inside - only £2.99!
And who as a naughty little boy then --showing you up !!- but obviously forgiven great time- to be treated to £2.99 ice cream ! surely that should have been his pocket money for the week !! teeehee !! Now after that frivolity This is a beautiful collage of an array of beautiful azaleas & I spot a one very lucky little pooch !!

Well done for spotting him Beryl, didn't realise until the pic went on the screen that I'd caught him in it. btw - he didn't get any ice cream!!!! He got a bath when we got home and I got soaked too, as usual!

Lovely flowers -- great glimpse of Jinks peering into the garden -- maybe looking for more good stuff to roll in?

Note to self - take wet wipes when walking our dog (Bodie) would have been very useful after he took a dip in dirty smelly slimy water, doggy icecrem !!!!!!! lovely shots Hazel, I like how you have given us a close up of the flowers, so pretty

Thanks, yes I'm going to get and carry some wet wipes! Not sure what we would have done without that kind lady as Jinks looked (and smelt) terrible!
