Bev, Phoebe and Hamish drove up to Northumberland on Thursday as Bev had a meeting with a customer and Hamish wanted to treat Phoebe and himself to some pampering at the hotel. They stayed at the same hotel as before - a beautiful old building set in acres of woodland, with a swimming pool and beauty salon.
Hamish and Phoebe went out to play in the woods and scare the golfers, while Bev decided to relax in the hotel room. Unfortunately, the room was hot and stuffy, and any benefits from the pampering sessions were totally ruined when the fire alarm went off at 4am! Bev ran around like a headless chicken getting dressed and trying to work out how to save Phoebe and myself, but we sent her off to reception while we climbed out the open window and hid in the woods. Poor Bev had to sit for an hour in reception along with all the other guests until the firemen turned up and switched off the alarm. By this time, Bev was wide awake and couldn't get back to sleep, so we all sat up in bed drinking coffee and chatting. Phoebe was grumpy because her dress got wet in the woods and her sleek fur had gone frizzy in the rain, but otherwise we were all safe and well, and at least none of us had gone up in smoke!
