Chiraze is keeping us waiting to have her puppies but is getting nearer.

Meanwhile, Ann came for a visit and played with the Laekenois puppies and then we went for a very frosty walk with Cruz and Psyche.

The temperature has plummeted again and the water to the house was frozen for two mornings yet again. But the sun is shining and it is much dryer outside so very pleasant. The sprout pickers have had a couple of days off thank goodness so we have had a better chance of sleep and the tractor has been ploughing, but at a much more reasonable time :)
