I just had to check the house to make sure Ralphie is still here. Because for a minute there I thought he’d upped sticks and moved in with Kate and Wills. Headlines report the Royal pair have just adopted a black cocker spaniel puppy and this picture suggested Ralphie has been enjoying strolls on the beach with the Duke and Duchess. The cheek! Just kidding, it’s a Ralphie lookalike and there seem to be a lot of them.

I saw a Ralphie being walked by someone in Newport Pagnell the other day, he was in today’s Daily Mail and he features in a framed photo in Ikea, Milton Keynes. Honestly, what he gets up to while we’re at work, God only knows.
