Good day, my name is Mugsy. Welcome to the home and gardens of my human, Mr. Conway. You know, the one on TV? Apparently he has a show and people are invited here to be filmed making stuff. This week, someone named Betz arrived. She asked if I would like to guest post on her blog to tell you about her visit. I don’t really know what a blog is, but I do know that it rhymes with dog, and that’s good enough for me. Besides, since I’m really the one in charge here, I should be the one to show you around.
These are the beautiful gardens that are well maintained by my staff. This is often the backdrop for that TV stuff I mentioned. Mostly I like to spend my day trotting about and keeping an eye on the goings-on.
It’s been a dreary rainy week here and today was no different. Betz complained a little about the weather affecting her hair, but I thought the shaggy sheep-dog do’ was working for her.
Here’s the barn, the location of today’s filming. Right now the film crew is busy bustling about in there setting up lighting, styling the set, testing the sound and a bunch of other boring stuff.
*yawn*
And they say TV is glamorous? This is a shot inside the barn after Betz was done shooting two craft segments. (I didn’t really get a good look at the projects, but there was a sewing machine involved.) My job during the filming is to root around under everyone’s feet and make snarfling noises. Sometimes if I’m too disruptive, they have to do another take. *sigh*…good times!
Everyone seemed pretty happy with how the filming went. Mostly Betz seemed happy it was over and was allowed to untape the microphone threaded through her blouse. She had a few minutes before leaving so the two of us wandered about to take some photos of the gardens. Oh boy, more flowers!
I don’t know what this thing is, but it is po-key!
These are unusual creatures. All I can say is, they better keep their little mouths away from my kibble.
I hope you’ve enjoyed your visit to my neighborhood, I know Betz sure did. Now, I’ve a busy day ahead of me so I’ll thank you to be on your way.
Your Pal,
Mugsy

Hey Betz,
Looks like your summer is shaping up to be fun, always good to meet a new dog (and owner). Also wanted to say I just made up a pair of lounge pants from your Sewing Green book and they are great. They fit, flatter, and the pattern instructions were so easy to follow (we all know how frustrating that can be). Thanks for writing such good patterns,now I know I can tackle anything in the book! You rock!!!!!

I like your snapshot posting. Regarding about the plants that appear to poking is actually belong to the pineapple family called bromeliads & Tillandsias found in the Tropical forest like Malaysia and Amazon -Brazil. And the pitchers plants look so colourful, I have never seem this plant before. Thank you

I only know pitcher plants from indoors – maybe three to five “pitchers” in a tiny container and struggling to survive (they need “meat” to survive as they are carnivores!) and I love your sunshade but we don’t need one in ireland, besides the kids are not allowed to drink that crap 😉 but it could be a shade for my six parakeets in the glasshouse which can become too warm for them I will have a look at the next football or soccer match of the boys eliane
