Time for a Wee Break

February 17, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 14 Comments

You may have noticed a distinct lack of posts on the blog during the past few weeks. We’re taking a break. I know, I know…for some of you this is the equivalent of the end of the world as you know it so you might as well find the nearest window and defenestrate yourself with [...]

Just Your Average Supermarket Conversation

January 25, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 8 Comments

“Ah feed them tae ma bearded dragon!” My hand stopped inches above the open box of Tesco courgettes as my brain tried desperately to digest the  meaning of this sudden and unexpected supermarket conversation-opener.  It appeared to come from somewhere to my right…and down.  I turned and found jammed against me a short, round, bespectacled [...]

“New” Blogs We Like – French Leave

January 20, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 14 Comments

For a while now I’ve been trawling the internet looking for blogs that appeal to my sense of humour or that I just find…interesting.  I’ve discovered these are scarcer than the proverbial hen’s teeth!  There are blogs out there with hundreds, yes hundreds, of followers but the writing therein would bore the backside off an [...]

The Formation of Black Holes and The Triumph of The Muffin Man

January 20, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 13 Comments

Some weeks are just like that…that downward spiral of events that should, in theory, have you deciding enough is enough say, by Tuesday.  This week should have been one of them but for some peculiar reason the bleak, end it all, mood failed to materialise. Monday, as you are all very well aware by now, [...]

The Great Innerdouny Agate Hunt

January 19, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 19 Comments

A few days prior our uncomfortable morning on King’s Seat above Dollar, The Fatdog and I had had a trifle more success on a much lesser bump on the landscape – Innerdouny Hill.  This relatively insignificant wee hill lies to the east of the Yetts o’ Muckhart to Dunning road. . Last week the unusually [...]

Photo Gallery – Care and Sorrow

January 17, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 3 Comments

There were a few photos that didn’t make it into the previous post…so here’s a wee gallery. Just to smooth it along I’ve uploaded a relaxing piece of music to go along with it.  Click on the play button – then on the first photo to start a manual click-along slide show.  “Leaving Stour”  Duncan [...]

A Day of Care and Sorrow

January 17, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 12 Comments

Yesterday was a wake-up call as to the capabilities of both myself and The Fatdog. We’d had great success having completed 3 (very) easy hills in 8 days.  On what was day 12, we had a somewhat stiffer challenge.  With the starting temperature at a frosty -4C we set off from Castle Campbell, above Dollar, [...]

“Romans and Nazis and Fatdogs…Oh No!”

January 13, 2012 by Where the Fatdog Walks 16 Comments

The Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Fatdog inched their way up the creepy forest track.  From the arboreal depths came the sound of creaking.  Dull, ominous, creaking.  The sort of creaking you get from two trees rubbing together…when you know they certainly shouldn’t be.  The creaking that comes from the tearing of roots [...]
