Welcome to the BBHQ midweek news round-up!

How's your week going? 

Happy February! 

We finally got our bare root plants potted up yesterday, and we're hoping to sow some seeds this weekend. Although we've run out of compost and we need dad to go to the garden centre and get us some. We've also got two new raised beds with a cloche on, so that will really help this spring with our planting programme.

We've also been hard at work on our latest crafting post, and mew can get a sneak peek with Fudge in our second story. We think mew're really going to like this one, the rest of our supplies arrived on Monday, so we can really get stuck in now, although we must say, the P.A. did get stuck on a vital component last night and had to walk away while she thought about the dynamics and architecture of it. Obviously, mew have no idea what we're talking about but all will be revealed very soon!

We found this fun throwback of Parsley from Spring 2021 when he was modelling the fancy top hat we made.

We may make some more hats this year, do mew have any ideas for us?

Fudge was on paw on Tuesday just to check the size was ok, can mew guess what we're making? 

He gave it a paws up, so we're good to carry on.

Each one has different mewsic. 

Which one is your favourite this week? 

We really laughed at the TikTok one! MOL

Which one should he model next?


We forgot it's Valentine's season, and as we were going through Melvyn's extensive bandana wardrobe we realised that we didn't have any that fitted the Valentine brief.

So we had to banish the P.A. to the craft room late yesterday afternoon, and she rustled up this selection for February. Luckily she had several fabrics with hearts on and a few different trimmings, and this is what she came back with.

We hope that Melvyn approves! MOL

There was a little kerfuffle at BBHQ this week, as Smooch slobbered all over the catnip cushions and Fudge took great exception to this!
