It's been quite a week here at the Rocking Horse courtyard. 😲 So what's news at the Rocky? 🤷🏻♥️

At the weekend, we welcomed all those who joined the Great Global Greyhound walk, which was hosted at the Rocky. It was the last big event to be held here this year and once again those attending were fortunate with the weather. 👍🏻🙋🐕‍🦺

Our next pressure is on the bakery, as we are just starting to take orders for our delicious Christmas cakes......truly the best in the County. 🧑🏻‍🎄🎂😋♥️

And now for the big news.....our next big projects are just around the corner. They are likely to really transform this place. Watch this space.......more news shortly. 👍🏻🥂

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋🥂

During the summer season, we welcome more groups of friends and families, but once the schools go back, we meet mostly couples.....and yesterday was no exception. 🙋👍🏻

It turned out to be a rather busy day, which culminated in a rather empty cake table. The state of the cake table is usually a very good guide as to how busy we have been. 😂👍🏻🍰

We have baked extra scones today, in advance of the great global greyhound walk, which starts from here at 1pm. 🐕‍🦺♥️ We have fruit scones, cheese scones and blueberry scones on offer today. 😋👍🏻

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋👍🏻☕

Our new company vehicles have finally arrived 🏍️😂👍🏻.

One of our baristas (you'll never guess who 😂), was the first team member to try out this very limited edition Honda. Or did he just sit on it, as he was too scared to even start the engine. 🤷🏻😂👍🏻🏍️

On a slightly more serious note, the bike actually belongs to a close friend of the Rocky. 🏍️♥️ Andrew rode 128 miles each way, just to have lunch here yesterday. Now, we knew our food was good, but we didn't realise it was that good. 😂👍🏻😋

We have welcomed so many regular customers this week. And now that we are not so busy, it is great to have a good catch up with many of them. 🙏♥️

On Sunday, we are holding our last major event of the year. It is called the Great Global Greyhound Walk and is for all sighthounds. We had nearly 30 dogs last year but the event has been gathering momentum each year. We hope this year will be no different. 🐕‍🦺♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 👍🏻🙋🥂

Coffee ☕, cake 🍰, canvasses 🖼️ and classic cars 🚗. The Rocky is truly the 'Home of Hospitality'. 🙏♥️

Life is calming down as we head towards autumn and it doesn't need roadworks to do it, either. 😂👍🏻

We have had such lovely feedback about our new painting 'the essence of the Rocky', by Adriana. Adriana's Art ♥️ She has taken more commissions as a result, which is lovely. 👍🏻🎨

It was great to see a truly beautiful classic car drive up to the cafe at the weekend. They really don't make cars like this any more. It turned more than a few heads. 🚗♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋🥂

What a difference it makes when the roadworks are not in operation. 😂👊🏻🚗

Well, it has been a much busier week and yesterday we welcomed back Adriana 🎨, for the official unveiling of her painting 'the essence of the Rocky'. 🎨🖼️♥️ It looks great now that it has a final home, as it has so much detail in it. (Can you spot Si King The Hairy Bikers , Alexander Armstrong and Richard Dunwoody Dunwoody Web Design & Photography? Or even Kenton Cool, who climbed Mount Everest. 🏔️ Or perhaps Chali 2na , a very popular American rapper. 🎤 And then, of course, there is Mr Mole 😂👍🏻) 😂 We had such a fun time at the unveiling, as Adriana explained more about her work. 🎉

We have served a few afternoon teas this week, which have been well received. But the highlight of the week was when 3 ladies from New York City put in a review that the Rocky was the highlight of their week in Northumberland. How special is that? 😲👏🏻♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋🥂

Sebastian, the local Great Dane, rode into the Rocky this week, as he had heard we serve the best breakfast in Northumberland 🐕‍🦺😋👍🏻. He was not disappointed until he realised that it was Mum and Dad who had the breakfasts, and all he got was a small piece of sausage (at least it was from our local butcher, R. Green & Son 😂👍🏻).

He is probably the heaviest dog we have welcomed in nearly 10 years, even if he is not the biggest. Some 80+ kilos and only 4 years old.😲👊🏻🐕‍🦺♥️

The team here at the Rocky wishes you well. 🙋☕🍰

Ps don't forget we are serving free tea and coffee tomorrow morning, when Adriana Lambing will be unveiling her Rocky painting at 11am.

Well, it is exactly 2 weeks since we held our 5th annual bank collie-day event. And what a truly lovely day it was. 🙏♥️🌞🐕‍🦺

The overall numbers were about the same as last year but the weather forecast was showing rain for most of the bank holiday weekend, which is why numbers were somewhat limited. 🤷🏻🐕‍🦺

There was such a lovely atmosphere around the place and some people even brought a picnic. 😋👍🏻☕🍰

We finished up raising just short of £1,000 in total for SHAK The Sanctuary. 👏🏻🐕‍🦺♥️

Thank you so much to everyone and every border collie who attended and supported this year's event. It is very much appreciated. 🙏

And thank you to Philip Hunton Photography Brian Eyler Fine Art Photography and Larna Rowell pet photography, for helping to record the day on photograph, video, 360° and drone footage. 👏🏻👍🏻📸🎥♥️

We look forward to seeing many of you again next year. 🙋🥂
