@hpod16 OMG the vertical storage is great but FIRST: about changing #trains , @europeanspodcast have an episode on that, and it's also quite funny! Apparently we are all very frustrated with our #railway system in Europe! 🐾 I like #train travel because it's more #dogfriendly and, since listening to that episode, I'm tuned into the work of European Rail Passengers Union, which you can also find on #Mastodon!! : @erpu https://erpu.eu/
NOW, about #bikes : that looks great!! #doglife 💕 🚋 🌳

Frantic 🇬🇧 + 🇪🇺Apr 20

I spent Sunday afternoon at Bamburgh Walled Garden which is part of the Bamburgh Castle Estate. It's as near to the centre of the village as makes no difference. It is very dog friendly.
It doesn't have a car park but Bamburgh has some free on street parking and a to pay for car park near it's Castle.

If you liked The Last Kingdom you may know #Bamburgh better as #Bebbanburg

I was accompanied by SWMBO, Sprog 2 and he children (grandchildren 5 of 6 and 6 of 6).
I spent most of my time at one of the café's outdoor tables, grandchild 5 of 6 discovered the large sandpit in the adventure playground and spent most of his time there.
Bamburgh was busy. In addition to the normal Sunday afternoon day trippers there was a cricket match taking place and a major cycle race started and finished there. Sprog 2's partner was taking part in the 100 mile event.
Being a grandparent is a hard job but after 16 years I'm getting used to it.

Slips, trips and fall risks from ubiquitous dogs

In dog-friendly Australia it seems the non-native canine is the most dominant species. They are allowed to roam the (dog-free) beaches, the national parks and (pet-friendly) workplaces, flats, cafes, restaurants etc. If not straying, then they are on long or flexible, extendable leashes stretching across hallways and footpaths.

This trip-and-fall risk is human-unfriendly. The health, safety, and well-being of the bipedal companions is not considered. Pet dogs pose hygiene issues, potential zoonoses and allergy risks. The mental well-being of bite victims and phobia affected can trigger distress.
