Sophie is still a lady in waiting and seems to be thoroughly enjoying all the undivided attention. She has her own suite with TV, biscuits and heating. Lisa has moved out into the mobile home with her and they are very cosy.

A very busy few days, full of dogs as usual; been on some nice walks, and the dogs have been enjoying lots of time out in the paddocks. A few heavy downpours but on the whole a very sunny weekend. Got some fencing repairs done and a new vent on my dog trailer -thanks Martin. I got the strimmer going and made a start on the nettles which have suddenly sprung up everywhere.

News from Crystal Palace Open show that Grace with Bonvivant Noisette had BOB today.
