....cor blimey!!

Well all that training really paid off...we had a fabulous long weekend away with Hare N Hounds at Duncombe Park, lots of sunshine, great friends, lots of giggles in a magnificent, awesome setting and.... Jette finally got her agility win taking us into Grade 2!! I'm so pleased for her, she's missed it so many times but convincingly she also came home with a Jumping 2nd, an Agility 3rd and 2 Jumping 4ths, all on tricky courses with plenty of competition, so she's storming into Grade 2 with cheeky girlie attitude lol!

It was a great show all round, I think everyone did really well, the pairs class with Wendy set us up for the Saturday as I got out first cross-behind in the weaves and that gave us the confidence to really go for it, strange as on the Friday I'd not wanted to run really after work had fill my head with 'stuff'. Just goes to show what a giggle can do :)

Helen and I also got a little mini-tour of the big-house from a guide who really knew her stuff and loved being asked questions, a shame the son-in-residence- will be stopping these tours of the house, what a shame, the guides are gutted! We also had fish 'n chips in celebration of Jettes win, all the locals had something to stare at as we sat in the square with all the dogs ha ha!! Although I got to look after Lou's Baddlie-child-eating-dog as we queued, never again ha ha!!

Flynn wasn't keen on the midnight beastie stalking our camping pitch.... poor big boy lol!!

Anyway here it is, with Jette in the water, where she loves it best....
