Blog now accessible

It has taken ages to address the accessibility problems on this blog but we are back!

2015 was not a year to remember with family illness taking over.
However, there were a few highlights one of which being a judging appointment in Belgium where the hospitality was fantastic as always, the food was wonderful.
I had the opportunity to do lots of sightseeing in Antwerp with my host Saskia Vermeylen who is an absolute mine of information on local history and folklore, and was very patient as we explored every possible place in the time available.
.Thank you Nora Figoureux for the invitation and to all the exhibitors for bringing your beautiful dogs under me.It was great to see Claire and Gaston too with my beloved Bali.

Judging alongside Firmin and Eric, meeting up with old friends and making new ones, and being able to put faces to facebook friends too!

Cello

At last I have managed to get a photo of Cello -he is usually smiling at the camera or just about to flatten me as he races towards the camera!
Cello will be 12 in October but is still enjoying his trips out to the dog shows, still taking top honours and making both myself and his co-owner Terry Donovan (Mr Polo) very proud. He loves his evening walks up the setaside and is still full of mischief.
It was also lovely for his Grandaughter, Bonvivant Ysatis, also co-owned with Terry, to get her first CC at the Northern Champ show where Cello got the RDCC and BVeteran in Show!
