A Perfect Weekend

What a busy weekend but what fun we've had! Yesterday was the first day of our shoot so having counted the days down Gary headed off with Bronte and our friend Ian who has never participated in a shoot before.
They had a great day. We did wonder whether Bronte would manage a whole day as she is now eleven but she took it all in her stride. As we expected, Ian was bitten by the bug and is coming back next weekend for another session :-))

Of course this left Ian's wife Jayne and I at a loose end for the day so we decided to take Coco and her litter brother Louie whom Ian and Jayne own,  for a walk up the Wrekin. Expecting rain we were over dressed for the occasion, so after a very hot hour and a quarter  we reached the top, where amidst the clouds the views were breath taking.

Of course, the day would not have been complete without a swift visit to our local dog friendly pub where we all compared notes on the day.
Ian and Jayne visited again today, this time to go training with Chris and Peter Guest (Bardantop). I took Coco, Ian and Jayne took Louie and Gail took Isla. Sadly Winnie who would normally have come with Gary, had a stay at home day as Gary took Flash up to the Long Mynd to do some training with our friend Paul Bradley.
What a lovely end of the day but to come home to a Sunday lunch cooked by our daughter Hannah - pork belly, Paddy Ryan's sausages and all the trimmings and then an evening in front of the log burner with a glass of wine :-))
