I did it again! Inspired by Belle and Wanda’s comments about the pub-next-door holding a “fare well Max “party when I move, I managed another visit at the weekend!

It was all so easy. Although my mean humans had decreed I was not getting out loose in the garden again, and despite my howls of anguish at protesting at being left inside on what must have been the sunniest day of the year, all I actually had to to do was sit and wait…. and be patient….

Eventually Tim came inside for something and I grabbed the opportunity to escape- quick as a flash I got out the front door, avoided going near Hilary who was sitting reading outside.. and off down the drive, round the church, and over the wall into the pub garden!

There were people sitting at the tables enjoying a drink in the sun, and I couldn’t decide who to go and see first. But then, panting behind me, came Tim… so I quickly rushed inside through the open door and ended up in the restaurant area! I dived behind the bar thinking Tim might not spot me there, but sadly, he did, although I did my best to blend in with the surroundings!

I was unceremoniously grabbed by the collar and taken home!
