Sorry Fanny, could only stay half hour as I had family round. Looked for you when I left but you'd gone wandering. Garden looked great, have a nice summer.
As always very humbled by what my dogs bring to the Upbeats, those smiles make it worth the effort. Amazed at little JJ's debut, surrounded by the youngsters he took most of it in his stride occasionally whimpering to Bailey for reassurance who just moved a little closer to him. It takes a lot out of my dogs and myself and today's heat didn't help but at 13 weeks old he was fantastic, I've passed on a message to their breeders from I believe two parents who complimented their breeding. Always good to meet new friends in FF and her husband who have done a great job I with The Pierre Bolangi gardens which will look fantastic when established. Nice to meet Athletico and his littleun, also thanks to BDL for taking the photos, Mr and Mrs Storry were in attendance as was Mr Bartram, thanks for al the nice things said about my dogs it means a lot.

While we're waiting for David Bailey here's a collage of today's visit.
Nice to catch up with a few Lifers, and of course, Bailey and JJ. Must have missed Afka somehow. There's a picture of the Pierre Bolangi garden also. A very worthwhile trip, I would encourage others to go to the next one.
All very heartwarming stuff. I enjoyed my brief visit at the last one but was many miles east for this one. I hope to make the next one. Well done for organising.

Brilliant afternoon, thanks Ray and all the Upbeats for making us welcome.

Apologies for not mentioning we'd had a reunion this afternoon ....thing is, I forgot your User name !
Great to meet TCE, Bailey and JJ - 2 cracking, friendly dogs... and the Upbeats really live up to their name.
The littleun enjoyed chasing the birds off the newly seeded training pitches after - better than any scare crow!
