Well once again we were very lucky with the weather - the rain and snow held off - giving us breezy sunshine...

We all met up successfully this time and it was great to finally meet Danni, Sally, Yoyo and Jasper, after managing to miss each other last time!

My daughter has fallen in love with Jasper, and was working out ways to snaffle him. She has announced that she is on the look out for her own oldie to rescue now!

We were very honored too, to have Ally's Aunt and Uncle, and their dogs accompanying us. It was lovely to meet you -

The egg rolling went well - As you'll see from the photographs, Danni didn't quite manage to make all the dogs sit and stay and there are some very odd smells escaping from a sleeping Rufus at the moment, due to him snaffling one or two as they rolled past! We discovered too that though the shells were hard to dye - once cracked the white of the eggs looked quite psychedelic!

It is lovely and peaceful in our house at the moment, Rufus and Stellar are stil snoring - I suppose i should wake them for their tea

Here are a few of my favourite pics;

The ascent


Rather a breezy picnic!



Hey! Where did my egg go?



It's green!



Home time

Oh Polly, great pictures!!
I didn't take any..no spare hands!

Had a lovely day, and what fantastic dogs and kids. (Lovely pic of Lauren and her egg)

Thanks everyone.

And welcome to Ally's aunt and uncle, I know you'll read this
Triumph on way to you as soon as post office opens again, I'm really sorry I didn't bring him today.


We'll do it again soon eh?



(PS, sorry for the barking...but hey..none on the way back, got to be progress )

Ooh yes, soon would be good

Your Charlie did really well today (and when he does bark, it's a 'happy' bark) ... at least he doesn't run up trees like my Charlie does

Ooooh looks like you all had a fab day - a bit breezy maybe!

Wonderful photos!
