ascent of Base Brown in the Lake District

A rather worried Ellie, having somehow got herself into this side-stream
behind Stephen's back during a walk along the River Gipping

George on his 9th birthday, towards the end of
a 23-mile walk on the North Downs
Way, his longest yet.

Hetty at 11 months old

Hetty showing off her new rally rosettes - a class Ace score, her new
Puppy Title, and her overall 7th place ranking for the year's
competitions

Ellie's older son Winston finally gains his second major, in great style by
beating the Crufts 2009 BOB among many other lovely dogs, and becomes
AKC Ch Luphenex Land A Victory RN!

George enjoys a gallop in the woods near West Harling Heath on the
Suffolk/Norfolk border

Our family, plus Millie, a temporary houseguest

Enjoying the sunshine - almost too much, in Hetty's case!

Ellie working beautifully at another rally trial


And Hetty doing her bonus recall exercise


Lucy and Ellie, proudly showing off their rosette - Ellie has just become the
first Cavalier in the UK to gain a Rally Championship!

George, Ellie and Hetty at the end of the Peddars Way, where it meets the
Norfolk Coast Path. Stephen started that walk with George, Ellie
and Henry. What Hetty lacks in show potential compared to our departed Henry,
she attempts to make up for with character.
