Maxwell and Myrtle have completed a challenging climb, past the pencil precipice, the crayon crevasse and on to the steep slab of the boxwood ruler - not for the fainthearted. The climb is rated 5b. The idea came after looking at Camilla Engman’s very inspiring blog.

Maxwell had a lot of fun in the snow last week, even though his sledge was an old scratched tray and not much use.

Maxwell and Myrtle are getting ready for Valentine’s Day. They will be in a special Valentine’s show at The Old Sweet Shop, opening on Thursday.

Myrtle wanted to make sure her head didn’t get cold.

Maxwell and Myrtle have been playing at home.

Myrtle has a new best friend. He’s called Bob and they are inseparable.

Myrtle is fast asleep in her tent tonight.
