I'm taking a couple of days off from the blog

Saturday, 25 May 2013

This morning I lost Cocoa, my chocolate labrador companion of nearly 15 years. I didn't realise I would miss a dog so much - he had grown up with my children and was part of the family - so I'm going to take a few days off the blog.

The photo below was the last I took of Cocoa. He's setting off on his last walk, among the wild garlic and bluebells.

Within 30 minutes he had died in our arms on the hillside above, with the beauties of the valley set out below us. He's been buried in the garden and I'm building a small cairn among the quarry workings to mark where he died.

Cocoa has appeared a few times before on the blog. Here he takes a swim. While I'm away, please have a look around; I'll be back soon.

A major influence in my search for style......

Coming up soon on Grey Fox - Niall McDiarmid's Crossing Paths street photography and a visit to Hornets, the vintage clothing shop for gentlemen in Kensington, London.

Stay tuned!
