Off Road Mouse!
Mouse has been in a happy mood for the last few days because the warmer spring weather has arrived.  After a whole winter of being couped up inside or being cold, he couldn't wait to get out into the countryside to let off some steam.

How better to blow the cobwebs away than with a bit of off road quad biking.

After a quick call to Daisy Mouse to arrange to meet her later, Mouse got his stuff together and hit the dirt.

He started with some steps.

That was great fun and very bumpy.  He then headed for the mole hills.

Having done a lot of jumping he went really fast on the dirt track.

His quad bike was getting dirty so the obvious thing to do was splash in the water.

Mouse had been having so much fun that he hadn't realised what the time was and suddenly thought he was going to be late to meet Daisy Mouse so he had to zoom across the fields to get there on time.

He got there right on time and Daisy seemed very impressed with Mouse's shiny quad bike.  She was eager to climb aboard and go for a ride.

Mouse took Daisy for a trip right around the lake.

Then on their way back to the big field, they bumped into Mouse's friend Peanut Rabbit.  Now Mouse is a bit like any other red blooded male and when faced with the situation of having his best mate, his girlfriend and his quad bike all together he couldn't resist the opportunity of trying to impress them with his riding skills.

First he went for no hands!

Daisy Mouse couldn't watch and was convinced that it would all end in tears.  Peanut Rabbit however cheered Mouse on to greater things.

Next came no feet !

Daisy Mouse was even more worried and pleaded with Mouse to stop being silly before he hurt himself.  Peanut Rabbit just cheered for more.

Next came, laying down backwards!  Daisy just couldn't stand it any more.

Of course, the inevitable happended and Daisy was quick jump to Mouse's aid.

So with a broken arm, and a bruised ego, Mouse is being nursed back to health by his best friend and his girlfriend.  Needless to say, it will be a while before Mouse is out on his quad bike again.  But not too long before he is back for another adventure.

Happy Easter From Mouse

Happy Easter!

Mouse has been having fun preparing for Easter by making the best Easter Bonnet there has ever been.

He has also been growing spring flowers to brighten up the window ledge.

Mouse woke up early this morning and couldn't wait to see if the Easter Bunny had paid him a visit.  He quickly grabbed his basket and went on the hunt for clues.  He found the first clue and was soon off on the trail, hunting down any delicious goodies that the Easter Bunny had dropped for him.

The Easter Bunny had certainly been busy and had Mouse running all over the garden solving clues and collecting goodies.

There was even some chocolate to be found on the car!

Mouse was so pleased with his haul of chocolate that he got a bit silly and decided to climb into his basket with all the eggs.

 

He soon realised that this wasn't such a good idea though as those easter Chicks can be a bit lively.

So he decided to get rid of some of the stockpile by eating it.

 

The problem is, Mouse is just like any excited rodent at Easter and just doesn't know when to stop.  He was soon feeling a little sick and had to have an egg cup ready in case of emergency.

 

 

The sick feeling didn't last too long though and certainly hasn't put Mouse off the taste of chocolate.  However, sense got the better of him and he decided to have a nap before eating any more.  So he laid down, on his chocolate, rested his head, on his chocolate and dreamed............of chocolate.

Mouse will be back soon and wishes everyone a very happy Easter.

Time to Book a Holiday

It is snowing again at the moment where Mouse lives so it has made him think about booking a holiday for something to look forward to.  So it was off to the Travel Agent to get some brochures.  No decision has been made yet but the sight of all the wonderful pictures in the brochures made Mouse remember the fun time he had in Gran Canaria last year and he thought he would take a look through the photo album.

 Here is mouse in front of the bungalow he stayed in.

 The first thing to do when you are on holiday..........to the pool !

 Mouse didn't want to spend the whole holiday by the pool and loves to explore so a drive in the mountains was just what he needed.  Fresh air, great views and away from the hustle and bustle for a while.

There is always time to relax and take in the scenery for a while.

The Aloe plants in the mountains were huge.

 

The trusty little car served mouse well on all those really steep roads.

 

It was fun being in the mountains for the day but no holiday would be complete without a trip to the beach.

Mouse wasted no time putting his bucket and spade to use and didn't mind the sand getting in his whiskers at all.

Aaaah, this is the life!

 Mouse never wants to waste his whole holiday just laying in the sun so it was time for some more exploring the next day.  It was off to Puerto de Mogan, a lovely old fishing town with lots of boats to look at.

Safety first!  Mouse likes to know where the life saving gear is located when he is near to water.

 There was even a submarine that mouse went in to see what was under the sea.

After the submarine has showed Mouse what lives under the sea, he was keen to go for a trip on a normal boat.  It was fantastic being out in the fresh ocean air and Mouse was amazed when some friendly dolphins came to say hello.

Mouse did put on a few pounds while he was away, but surely it wasn't from all the ice cream !

Or Tiramisu?

Or Triple Chocolate Cheesecake !!!!

  Hopefully Mouse will have just as much fun on holiday this year and he will be keen to share his holiday snaps again for sure.

The Last Bit Of Fun In The Snow

Mouse was checking the weather on his phone and was sad to see that the snow was due to thaw over the next 24 hours.  Aware that this would probably be the last chance he would get this year, he decided to have one last bit of fun in the snow.

 
After a bit of planning, Mouse decided he would build a toboggan slope.  But this wasn't going to be any ordinary slope so he would need the help of some heavy machinery.

Mouse managed to borrow a tractor from a friend and set off creating his giant slope.  Driving the tractor wasn't as easy as it looked and he did bump into the wall a few times but fortunately no damage was done.

After a while, Mouse got the hang of the tractor driving though and started to look like a real expert.

Soon the slope was finished.  Mouse was very proud and he climbed to the top to admire his handy work.

The only thing left to do was have some fun.  Mouse got his favourite toboggan from the shed and tried out his masterpiece.

It was pretty fast and the speed caught him by surprise on a couple of occasions which resulted in him eating a bit of snow.  But Mouse didn't mind as that is what sledging is all about.

 

Mouse had great fun in the snow today and is now having a nap while he thinks up a plan for his next adventure.

Some fairly heavy snowfall overnight got Mouse really excited when he woke up this morning.  He said it made Desborough look just like Lapland and it reminded him of his holiday.

After a hearty breakfast of some porridge, sweetened with a touch of jam, Mouse just couldn't wait to get outside and play in the white stuff.

The fun started with a snowball fight of course.

Then a spot sliding on a tea tray.  Mouse found it really difficult to steer and ended up eating snow on several occasions, but who cares when you are having fun, right?

After all that rushing around it was time to slow down and bit and get creative.  Mouse came back to the garden and built himself a new friend.  He wasn't the most popular Mouse when it was discovered he had used one of the good hats, but nobody can stay mad at Mouse for long.

Here he is with his new pal.

 

Mouse will be back soon with some more antics.

Happy New Year from Mouse!

Mouse has never been one for getting sloshed on New Year's Eve.  He much prefers to spend the evening in good company and then get up early and take in all that the New Year has to offer without it being spoiled by a hangover.

This year Mouse decided to contemplate his plans for the next twelve months while watching the sun rise for the first time of 2013.

He ended up at Skegness on the East coast of England.  It was a perfect morning, quite chilly but perfectly clear and dry.

Mouse has pledged to to lots of exciting and interesting things this year and to keep posting his adventures here.

Happy New Year.
