Coffee with Ivan a day in Margate and hoping to get back to art soon.
Ivan enjoying one of our many dog friendly coffee houses.
In his full size glory
I am sorry to be absent from Steemit over the past two days but my schedule has been very busy and I have done a whirlwind of trips with my friend, as I had promised.
We had a few lovely days.
I hope to be back to a normal schedule soon, but for now, enjoy a few pictures of the other dogs we encountered in one day at our fav coffeehouse.
This little sweetie LOVED Ivan. She was so adorable it was all I could do to not put her in my pocket and high tail it out of there. She would have it as well.
She would lick and lick the air whilst looking in Ivan's direction. He finally allowed her to get down and come sniff him. He is always such a hit with humans as well as other dogs.
This poodle mix was fast in love with him.
And this adorable little black dashcund wanted so bad to journey down the aisle to us.
Over the past few days we did some amazing walks and trips to the three sea side towns of Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadsairs.
Here are a few pics from our Margate day. It was cooler that day and of course windy. Being away from Toad Hall for awhile I forget how as soon as you are on the sea, the wind picks up and it is cooler.
Lovely chalk cliffs.
The steps, filled with sun bathers in warmer temps, were still a great place to watch the sea and Ivan had a blast running full speed along the sandy shore and meeting all sorts of doggy friends.
There is a great old hotel where you can have a proper tea.
And of course there have been plenty of coffees in sidewalk cafes watching sea and boats.
I have been having fun playing tourist a bit of late, but it is time, soon enough , to get back down to work.
I hope to start visiting all of you on your posts soon enough we shall see how this week pans out.
I hope all of you are enjoying the rest of this first month of the new year and finding some ME time as well as time to get your creative work done.

Ahhh what a cute poopee! And that hotel looks lovely!
I love your glimpses into English life xx
@princessmewmew that hotel is a gem. I can't wait to have tea there when I return in September, it will be warmer and full of sunshine! I've had to return to usa sooner than planned due to father being ill.
I'm really glad you are having some fun, Donna.
Remember what they say "All work and no play makes Ivan a dull doggy."
So true @bigtom13 but I did feel the need to play tourist a bit as I have had to return to the USA early due to a family thing. However, it will only make my return in Autumn that much sweeter I think.
Dog friendly cafes seem like a cool place to hang out 🙂
Don’t feel bad about not being so active on here, you probably want to be more active in meatspace anyway 😉
Hope you were able to get in some art time!

Thanks @ryivhnn I'm actually going to be able to have more studio time soon, as I have had to return to the USA sooner than planned due to family thing, but when that is resolved (hoepfully in good stead) I will return to Toad Hall and get back into my studio schedule. It is a mixed blessing, though missing UK and our little village already, but I'll be back in Autumn.
There's no need to feel bad when you're enjoying life outside of Steemit, Donna. I think it's better that we have good balance between our real and online life... daily Steemit-ing might not be viable for long term period.
Ivan is such a popular little guy, and he looks pretty well behaving as well <3.
@scrawly it is funny HOW popular Ivan is, seriously all the people AND the dogs seemed to be enamoured of him. I mean he is a very unique looking little fellow and his hair is as soft as a plush toy. I'll miss him now that I'm back in the USA but I get to see my own dear little Monty (chihuahua) now, Poor old fella. I'm hoping to take him back with me this Autumn to UK , but he will need shots and chipping and a three month house quarantine to do it. He is so old, but we shall see.

STOPA short note, before getting to bed WAY too late again. But it looks like you are having a smashingly good time of it. And going to Cafe Cute Dog seems to be a thing of the real there. Those are some adorable pooches you hang with. Such fun. Well, I'm off to bed. Stayed up too late writing on here. Have a nice day, and wander about for me. It would be SO much fun to adventurate with you there. Such a fascinating place. I shall live vicariously through your wanderfests. Such classic town names too. Cheers my friend.
