Our little retirement village was getting a little upgrade as the concrete was slippy when wet. All fixed now.
These dogs were all at the end of their life and sick / blind etc.
The happiest little place in the world as far as I’m concerned. Paradise ❤️
We owe those who serve the UK the kit to do the job and the loyalty to stand by them when it's done. We are failing on both.
I’ve spent my whole time in government making that case. Number 10 will not listen, so I am resigning as Minister for the Armed Forces.

Lucy is home & Brendan Jones is asking that we help Save Snuggles, who belongs to a veteran & his wife in Arizona. Please read this & get it around Twitter. The judge has ordered the dog be put down. Please retweet.
If this order isn’t signed today, Lucy will spend at least another day in a cell.
I spend yet another day in a courtroom. My sons will miss the final day of VBS - the one everyone has been looking forward to, with sprinklers, slip-and-slides, and squirt guns. And I won’t be able to attend my daughter’s ballet recital.
This is a great deal of unnecessary hardship, especially since I’ve already signed the deal. Yet this entire ordeal - nearly two months now - has caused far too much avoidable suffering over an innocent incident that took place in my own yard and was over in seconds.
I don’t blame malice. I blame procedural quirks, bureaucratic inefficiencies, and an overly heavy-handed government.
It’s no wonder C.S. Lewis imagined the demon Screwtape disguised as a senior bureaucrat and Hell as a mundane, if gruesome, administrative system.

This is Callum Peacock. He battered his girlfriend with a golf club, threw bleach and paint at her, and burned a memorial shirt of her deceased grandmother but has avoided an immediate prison sentence.
The 19-year-old defendant, from St Helens, subjected his partner to a cruel three-hour ordeal inside their home.
Police officers arrived at the flat to find the victim covered in white paint and curled up in a ball on the bathroom floor.
She was audibly sobbing and shrieking through a hole in the door, which was still smouldering and smoking.
During the assault, the teenager hit her with a broom handle and a golf club before putting her in a chokehold from behind.
When she tried to hide in the bathroom, he smashed the door with the golf club and used an aerosol and a lighter to set fire to it.
He then threw dumbbells and a bottle of bleach at her, causing the liquid to splash onto her body.
In what was described in court as an extremely selfish act, he took hold of a memorial t-shirt featuring a photograph of her deceased grandmother.
He set fire to the garment right in front of her while telling her that her nan would rot in hell.
The attack came just two days after another incident where he struck his girlfriend with a hammer following an argument.
Following his arrest, he openly threatened his victim in front of police officers, stating that he was going to smash her face in when he got out.
But he has now walked free from court after a judge handed him an 18-month imprisonment suspended for 18 months.
The court heard he had already spent nearly five months in custody on remand, which the judge noted was the equivalent of a nine-month sentence for a teenager with no previous convictions.
He was also given a five-year restraining order and a rehabilitation activity requirement of up to 20 days.
Another kick in the teeth, metaphorically speaking to the brave young woman who endured his cowardly attacks.
The justice in this country cares more about the accused than the victims.
