Back at the lakes. By Bessie

On Sunday we went for a Basset Waddle at Cosmeston Lakes.   We were a bit worried cos there was a family fun run being held on the same day and we thought it might be busy but I think more people turned up for our walk than the fun run.   We had 28 bassets and 4 honoury bassets (ie dogs that are not Bassets).   We had a brilliant day except for losing Tilly and Bertie's cousin dog Bentley the sheepdog.  He followed the wrong dog and ended up back at the car park.    Bertie, Tilly and Lotty took some humans back to find him.  Luckily he made it back and was waiting by the cars.  So we waited for them to catch us up and all was fine.

It was a beautiful sunny day and we stopped at the lake for a picnic and luckily there were no dead fishes there this time.   Shirley stole a dentastik out of the bottom of a strangers pram and it was at that point we decided we had probably been sat picnicking long enough and carried on with our walk.  As we passed the main lake where all the people were, an old man sat on a bench KICKED Carly as she walked past.  Mummy told him if she ever saw him do that again she would kick his head in.  (Cos she's polite like that)    Then Lotty started running towards a family having a picnic.  Mummy could see a bread roll lay on top of a tupperware so she shouted "PICK UP YOUR SANDWICH" but they all just sat there smiling.  When Mummy got there she managed to pull Lotty away just before she snatched the roll and apologised like a million times and the family just carried on smiling.  Afterwards Mummy said she didn't think they spoke English and Daddy said they spoke perfect English.  "Then why didn't they pick up their rolls?"   Bryn said "It wasn't a roll, it was a chapati."     Oh well that's ok then.
