Beenham 13th December 2003


Another grotty day - raining all morning whilst cleaning, which is why I did not get many shots there. At lunchtime it dried up though and at an unseasonaly warm 12 degrees centigrade we had a lovely walk with the Euro's in the afternoon. That is where I took most photos.

A bit of a tense situation at one point on the walk when a 'hunt' went past us. Dogs, horses and horns. Not the best of things. It did lead to a wonderful picture of Alba howling with Keith next to him - this is the first time ever that the handlers remember him howling on a walk.

This was followed by the trainees taking the North American girls out for a walk round the farm fields for assessment, then a half hour in the enclosure with them - this is the bit I really look forward to each week.
