Gundog day at Crufts. Molly (Sh Ch Inostricani Simoni Del Michiamo) was 1st in a large Veteran Bitch class. We had a lovely day and for once, the pictures and video I took today did not seem to suffer as much from the awful lighting at the NEC.
The swans return to the lake. 2 years ago they nested and stayed for many months. Sadly no cygnets survived. They returned last year and built 3 different nests but didn't lay any eggs.
Hudson spinone tries out his new bean bag, one of my purchases yesterday at Crufts. I think he likes it even though it is a bit difficult to get onto at first.
A day out at Crufts without a dog. This is the Italian Spinone Discover Dogs booth, beautifully decorated with pictures and information.
A harlequin ladybird landed on my desk. A quick transfer to a young coleus plant which gave a better background for this picture. A bit of research to identify it took me to this site. www.harlequin-survey.org/ I wasn't aware of its invasion into Britain.
Let Digging Commenct. Alice, helped by others, starts digging a hole in the garden under the camellia. Baby bunnies may be the motivation for this.
Hudson spinone prepares to evict Alice from his sofa. She is pretending to be asleep.
Kingston Common, Ringwood. A beautiful day and the ponies seemed to be enjoying a bit of sun on their backs.
A night out with Nick and Carolyn eating great Thai food at the Star in Ringwood.
Another beautiful sunrise on Kingston Common. The plane trails add a bit of interest.
The first daffodil is in flower in the garden. It's the only one so far.
Bobby spots the Little Egret in the garden and prepares to stalk him. One step at a time but he's no match for the egret.
Hudson adopts one of his many sleeping positions. I know he's asleep because he is snoring.
Alice Spinone sits still long enough to have her photo taken. A rare moment.
