A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page yesterday after seeing a chap walking his dog in the heat of the day on a beach in Swansea. Just a reminder, PLEASE DO NOT walk your dog in the heat of the day, the ground, be it pavement or sand, can be extremely hot and can burn the paws of your dog.  It can take as little as 15 minutes for a dog to die of heat stroke.  Dogs do not have sweat glands, so the only way to regulate their body temperature is to be in the cool, and panting. Tarmac radiates heat as quickly as it absorbs it. For example, if it’s 20° air temperature, then the tarmac can be 35°.  Too hot for a human to walk on, so too hot for a dog to walk on.  This will cause blistering and burns to their paws.

Now, with restrictions easing in England from Monday morning, I was shocked to read about a selfish member of the Royals, which one I hear you ask, Prince Charles. If others follow his example then it will be clear that a huge number of people living in the UK are actually sheep that follow the flock and ONLY DO THINGS when told to. Everyone has a brain of their own, why on earth don't you use it?. Thi

Phil's Video Blog 208 - https://youtu.be/c9o9k-OMq8E Friday just gone I went to Weston-Super-Mare with Neil. Weather was dry if not cloudy for most of the day, the sun did shine through towards mid to late afternoon. All in all not a bad place! Drove 92.8 miles there and 92.8 miles back... bit of a slog but well worth it!
