Thank you
Mostly the Lakes, running & walking; but most importantly Dog Dad to Little Joe 12.6.11-29.8.25 🌈. Nothing to do with the day job. He/him. ♾️

And a huge thank you to all the Fell Foot-ers for all your compassion & support yesterday. Special place, special people ❤️
Thank you to everyone for all the support & messages for & about Little Joe 🌈. It happened so fast; we’re still reeling. One of his favourite places in the world was #FellFoot #parkrun. So yesterday we parkwalked in his memory, remembering our last #parkwalk with him only a few weeks ago 💔
Thank you, he is & will always ♥️
Thank you Can’t begin to say how much he’s missed 💔
Thank you 🌈
Thank you
He did, thank you x
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
He did, thank you, & while that makes it harder in lots of ways it’s also a comfort x
He was thank you & thanks for thinking of us 🌈
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
Thanks G&E. It’s hard but you’re right he was a real one off & we’re grateful for him sharing that with us x
Thank you. Joe gave us & others so much so it’s hard now, but we’ll keep remembering how much he gave x
Thank you, he was - he means the world to us x
Thank you 🌈
Thank you
Thank you
Thank you Billy 🌈
Thank you little buddy
Thank you Lucy. He was very much loved, but gave back so much to us & others x
Thank you 🌈
Thank you Sue - trying to win the battle in my mind between the sadness & remembering all the happy times; it helps that there were so many of the latter.
Thank you
Thanks Wayne. I don’t have words for how much he meant to us, but I’m sure he knew.
Thank you
Thank you, he was one of a kind x
Thank you - we told him about all the friends he’ll meet over there 🌈
Thanks Mick. Gentle & serene are exactly who he was, which makes us so fortunate he shared this with us, even if it makes the pain of missing greater right now 🙏
Thank you. Grief comes in waves - they’re high at the moment so thank you for your thoughts x
Thank you Hugh
Thank you x
Today we’ve lost Little Joe, our darling little man. We’re devastated - he was the most gentle caring soul I’ve ever met. He gave us so much love & happiness & know that he did to so many others, from all the smiles people gave him as the walked past & looked at him. Love you little fella 🌈💔
He’s so chilled there are times it feels like we’ve got a little furry reincarnated Buddhist monk 😉😀
LFM celebrating #NationalDogDay eve yesterday with some quiet contemplation outside the Buddhist temple at #ConisheadPriory. #TerrierTuesday
We know its Bank Holiday Monday but Heidi sez can you please repost to spread the word about #TerrierTuesday to ALL #Terriers on #BlueSky please? 🐕 #BTposse #DogsOfBlueSky #Dogs #Photography bsky.app/profile/did:...

Remember doing a periodic review at Ushaw & being shown the chapel during the ‘tour of resources’. Definitely sticks in the mind. Though not quite as much as the team member who decided that assuring themselves about the resources included should include a turn on the chapel’s organ …
Great video; can’t get over how much Culter & Joe look like each other 😮
Not been on here for a while. Had a great van trip with OM to the Black Isle while Ma was away. Loved it even though we had little luck spotting dolphins - until we made our own 🐾😉🐾 #BTPosse
Not giving up on summer yet ☀️
LFM having had enough of posing for photos last Sunday.
Thanks Mick; he was feeling really chilled that afternoon, enjoying the tranquility of Allan Bank.
Taken on Sunday from Allan Bank at Grasmere, with Loughrigg in the background, think this has become my new favourite phot of Joe. #TerrierTuesday #WorldPhotographyDay
*Lakes Artists 🤦♂️
LFM doing his background reading from the catalogue on his way round the slake Artists Society exhibition at #Grasmere
A zoom round the #KentEstuarybfrom #Arnside this evening ☀️
Stunning & busy (403 runners!) at #FellFoot #parkrun this morning. LFM a bit disgruntled at being subjected to yet another photo, but he got into the spirit of it all with the rest of us by the time the run started ☀️😀
For this week’s #TerrierTuesday #BackInTime to 2016. During the Rio Olympics the good people at #FellFoot #parkrun set up their own medal podium, so LFM decided that he was going to take advantage of it as well 🏃♂️😀

When it’s the start of August & it’s now a three month wait for the England test team to be in action again, better believe The Hundred is the worst invention in cricket history. A format that’s the equivalent of Dennis Lille’s aluminium bat. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/a...
As a Barrovian too soft (& inept at anything at practical) to have gone into the shipyard, this story from the Ian Beesley retrospective of photos from the 70s & 80s currently at Salt Mills made me laugh (Barrovian = person from Barrow in Furness, for all not from this small corner of NW England).
Absolutely! Already planning a return 😀
… and Ann Hamilton’s We Will Sing installation hauntingly beautiful.
Off over the Pennines today to take in Salts Mill in Saltaire. Stunning venue & exhibitions & dog friendly!
Though tbh he makes himself at home in most cafes - today at #LevensHall, making the most of having both staff on full-time duties this week.
😁
LFM even has his own seat in his favourite local cafe, pulling us towards it whenever we go past. So #BeMoreHuman isn’t a concept he struggles with! #TerrierTuesday
Alternative views over the #KentEstuary today, courtesy of an Open Gardens Day in Grange over Sands & the opening up of Yewbarrow House. As well as the stunning views …
Unfortunately he was wearing his magic collar 😉
Summer day. Sun puddle. Tennis ball. What more could a border terrier want? ☀️
400 finishers exactly! 🏃😀
Perfect start to a Saturday #FellFoot #parkrun
Think so, though Joe wants it known that this is what his staff think & he accepts no liability for any of their errors 😉
Thanks Buddy, all best Great Uncle Joe
That’s impressive - LFM still attacks the hoover whenever it emerges from its pair 😀
When he first got his stroller a few years ago as he couldn’t walk after an up, we weren’t sure how LFM would take to It. Duck to water was the answer! So now he uses it more frequently as a vintage BT, he’s #SittingPretty in all sense of the phrase 😃 #TerrierTuesday
Not sure who feels older knowing that - me or LFM 😂
Long lost relative time. LFM’s Dad was Irton Up Helly Aa 😮
Didn’t realise you were from Irton buddy - LFM’s Dog Dad was an Irton; Joey, LFM his namesake as Joe given how similar they were.
Final weekend of the month, so #MoveAgainstCancer week at #FellFoot. Tour of duty as a #parkwalker, complete with LFM on board!
LFM loves the #HigherGround, so here he is on top of Farleton Fell five years ago; & on Cushion Mountain yesterday, the perfect vantage point from which to survey his lands & his subjects #TerrierTuesday
… and some less so #DurhamBrassFestival
Walk along the Wear in Durham this afternoon, with sides & sounds & expected …
No such thing as Sunday off for worker bee (or a hover fly!) 🐝
#parkrun #400 today at #FellFoot - 2,000k of parkrun-ing! I’d like to say that’s the reason for LFM’s enthusiasm at the start, except that this is exactly how it goes every week!
Sunflowers galore. Not sure of the LFM photo bomb stemmed from a determination to be, or not to be, captured on camera 🤔😃
In that there London for work. All very impressive I’m sure, but looking forward to getting back to the natural peaks of the #SouthLakes fells ⛰️
Little Furry Monster (for someone completely un-monster like)
From 2017, typical Lake District weather while going round an Art Trail. We all got soaked, but none of us quite as photogenically as LFM 🌧️ #WhateverTheWeather #TerrierTuesday
Listened the other day to a podcast bemoaning that short leg stands too far back nowadays. Mind you, it was an Australian - breed them tougher down under, clearly 😉
the old days of Twitter and Eurosport you could interact with the commentators. When watching Tour of Denmark, Heidi got a shout out and they answered my question the fantastic Jose Been and Brian Smith #Alphabetchallenge #WeekCforCommunication #Eurosport
Community garden at #FordPark I’m #Ukveerston looking stunning this afternoon.
Somehow the latest addition to the Gideon Haigh Wing of the library feels particularly appropriate today 🏏
… which I think is progress 🤔😀
… so forced myself out & ended up feeling like this …
Got back from work tonight & totally feeling this …
Couldn’t find a photo for the #OutOfFocus theme, so have had to make do with a classic BT refusal not to look at the camera, earlier this year by Dalton Castle #TerrierTuesday
Today is, apparently, National Dive Bar Day so entirely predictably, but still necessarily, … youtube.com/watch?v=qgxa...
LFM wondering where the !?*# summer has gone 🌧️
