A very frisky #sophiefromromania on this morning’s walk
Got back from Islay Book Festival at 00:45am after two hour delay in BA flight from Glasgow so a bit of a later start for #SophieFromRomania walk this morning. Great excitement when she spotted a cat, then loads of sniffing and she has now retired to her favourite spot in the garden
Sunday morning #sophiefromromania. I know how she feels

A much more relaxed Sunday morning walk with #sophiefromromania than last week though she still refused to go in the churchyard where the sound from over the fence of golf balls being driven once spooked her. Home to a #bigbreakfast

#sophiefromromania will be missed, no big breakfast for her fans to share tomorrow. I hope Sophie gets hers.
