A lovely sunny, warm day at Tynemouth long sands, ice cream all round, a visit to their favourite treat shop and a trip on the ferry to South Shields 🐾🐾🐾

A beautiful early autumn day in Washington Village 🐾🐾🐾

Our recent train journey to York 🐾🐾🐾

A lovely chill afternoon our in #Washington village this afternoon 🌤️🍾🥂

OMG YES… say that‼️ @tarasetmayer.bsky.social nails it. Honestly, we’ve been waiting for politicians to catch up to where the people are—and it’s getting damn late!

Sheriff has been lying in the kitchen for the last two days whilst it’s sunny and the garden sofa has been uncovered. Five minutes after I cover it up……😂 #dogsofbluesky

A bee sleeping on a flower this morning 🐝 #summer

It still amazes me that most USA citizens seem to believe the mid-term elections will still take place in 2026! Look at what is happening now; do you really believe Trump will allow it? #usa #facism #dictatorship

Sheriff living his best life ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #bassethound

Enjoying the early morning sun 🐾🐾🐾 #BassetHound

Partying with the Prince and Princess of Wales at the Palace👸🤴☕️🧁🥪

Sheriff’s loving the Eurovision final! 😂 #eurovision

Piper has grown tired of life so is attempting to end it by burying her nose in my wife’s slipper and sniffing the toxic fumes! 😂 #bassethound #dogsofbluesky

Spent a gorgeous afternoon in Old Washington Village with my parents and the gang 🐾☀️🍻

Lovely brunch with the gang in Newcastle yesterday 🐾🍾🥂

History always has a lesson.

Doggy ice creams for the gang on an early summer day 🐾🐾🐾 #bassethound #dogsofbluesky

RIP 🪦 After 39 years of faithful service it’s time to say goodbye, Tower is off to the big slow cooker heaven in the sky 😢 #towerhousewares

Lovely pre-dawn sky this morning, hopefully it’s warmer than yesterday! #basset #bassethound #dogsofbluesky

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Piper thinks the floor is fascinating! 😂 #bassethound #dogsofbluesky

Piper and Sheriff decided to join in when they heard the husky ‘talking’ next door! 🎶😂 #dogsofbluesky #bassethound

Happy second birthday to our little girl Piper ❤️ #bassethound #dogsofbluesky

A lovely foggy morning out at South Shields beach with the boys and their 18 Basset pals 🐾🐾🥰 #Dogsofbluesky #basset #bassethound

All set for the final next weekend 😃 Can’t lie, the rash of injuries and suspensions over the last week have somewhat taken the shine off it. 😬 Still you never know, you can’t not go just in case! 🖤🤍 #NewcastleUnited #NUFC #CarabaoCupFinal

Sheriff’s willing to give up his toy in exchange for my seat 😂 #dogsofbluesky #basset #bassethound

Piper’s recovering well from her operation on Wednesday and is snuggling in Sheriff, using his face as a pillow ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #basset #Bassethound

Imagine that: a whole nation in which every person in a position of power—whether political, institutional or business-related—is an abject coward. What possible reason could anyone have to think that we'll still have a democracy in 36 months? What democracy defined by its cowardice ever survived?

One too many for Sheriff! 😂 #dogsofbluesky #basset #bassethound

Today’s events confirm Europe can no longer regard America as an ally 😞

Popped up on my memories from 7 years ago. Some of my favourite photos of Alfie and Henry ❤️ #dogsofbluesky #springerspaniel #bassethound

A entertaining afternoon out in #NewcastleuponTyne

A Sunday morning at the beach with their pals 🐾🐾🐾 #basset #bassethound #dogsofbluesky

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

US Vice President J D Vance attacked Europe yesterday. His charge was, in essence, that we are not as fascist as he would like. The political battle lines have been drawn. We have to now stand up and fight against the tyranny he and Trump are unleashing. www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/02...
