September 2026
A quiet month in
comparison with previous ones. Ian
attended the UTC South Durham’s 10th birthday event, which was a
wonderful celebration of a terrific landmark. Tara got “signed off” after her major
teeth extraction and we have booked the operation to extract the other
side. It’s not unusual with
greyhounds to have to remove all their teeth in later life – something to
do with the long nose and poor blood supply to the teeth.
James came to do the
hedges and did his usual fantastic job but Lloyds Bank wouldn’t allow us
to pay him, which was very annoying, describing the transaction as
suspicious even though we’ve been paying him by bank transfer for
years! We tangled with the fraud
department but it was sorted out in the end by the complaints department;
we ended up with an apology and a bit of compensation. We are not impressed by Lloyds Bank at
the moment, and they can consider themselves on their final warning!
Ian, as Deputy
Lord-Lieutenant for County Durham, did another brilliant Citizenship Ceremony
– these are always wonderfully uplifting events. He also sat in Court alongside a
District Judge (Magistrates’ Court) which was a great experience and he
learned a lot.
All good stuff!
