Peace and Quiet

Yes, we can finally say that the house we bought was the right decision.

There’s been one or two firework displays that were audible, but nothing close by, and it’s been lovely. Hound’s been quiet, non-stressed, and hasn’t needed her usual (for Bonfire Night) tranquilisers at all. First time in five years that she hasn’t needed them, and that’s worthy of note in itself.

We’ve been out to Holkham beach today, which was lovely as well, but we haven’t needed to do the full Hound-exhaustion programme of previous years, which is another bonus.

Instead, she’s just laid around the house, asleep, and hardly reacting at all to fireworks. I think we had one or two barky fits, but that was it. And really, that makes this place ideal for us. Happy Day.
