Queen of the Hill

Her ladyship enjoys our spring walks on the nearby hill. There's been dirt to eat...

...and a kingdom to watch. (You know it's spring when Tara decides to lie down. The photo was taken when she did it the first time this year, mid-March.)

(HRH would like to add that there's no need to eat dirt when her diet is adequate. Lately, there's been too much talk about "gaining weight" and not enough liver, chicken, ice-cream, pizza, sausages, mid-morning snacks and late dinners. "Fat is a feminist issue", she says, and asks me to pass the butter and cheese.)
