Aidan 2, Tuesday 24th May

We have had first night in our first house sit. it was good, Holly slept with Rufus on a Double bed, and I sleep in a small room on a single bed. Clarry only sleeps with me during the day, she is also cross eyed but she can still see well enough. This morning holly, Dad and I took Rufus for a walk. We went past the hair dresser and he got his treat like every day but not Sunday and Monday. 

We went for a drive and saw a church which had a sundial which said it was half past ten.

Today we went to see one of the two white horses made of chalk. The first one was the Bratton camp white horse

and the second one was called the millennium white horse.

We also went to a canal and helped a man go through the lock. We also went on the boat through a lock. We helped push the lock gates open and turn the windlass which lets the water through little gaps in the gates.

The man on the boats name is Gypsy John and he had a king Charles spaniel which belonged to his son but he was going with him. His name is bill and he is blind and deaf but he is still a good swimmer.  When we left he was just mooring the boat for the night because he was tired.
