SCOTLAND

photos by Rusty

For the last week we have been up in Scotland, we were doing a lecture tour plus judging the GB cup at Dumfries. We had some dodgy weather on the way up on the Tuesday, but while we were in Scotland it was cold but ok, even went to Rannoch Moor and Glen Coe. The Wednesday evening we did a lecture for Dumfries and on the Thursday evening we were at Paisley, we were also due to do a lecture at Carluke on the Friday but this was cancelled due to adverse weather. All day Saturday and the Sunday morning were judging the GB cup, out of the nine judges only us and one other made it, so we were very busy. On the way way home today we had some bad weather at Leeds, but made it home safely.

STORM GETS A BATH

Photo by Barbie
Storm one of our four cats, has not been in the best of health in recent years and lately he has neglected washing himself, so I thought it was about time he had a bath. He wasn't to keen on it at first but gave in struggling after a while, here he is getting dry in front of the electric fan heater.

BARBIE'S CHRISTMAS PRESENT

Barbie has gone to Belgium for the day, this gives me the opportunity to buy Barbie's Christmas present..Hmm..what do you buy the woman who mostly gets what ever she wants.."if I can afford it that is". Not going to tell you til after Christmas.

WENT TO THE DOGS

I was convinced I had picked the winner

My dog came in last..!

Doh..!

Barbie Myself and our friend Pete went to the Romford Dog track on Saturday evening, it was raining most of the time, but had a good time. As regards photography we figured out that you could get close to the racing dogs but we need to go to one of the daytime meetings to get better light.
