Firstly I’d like to apologise to you all , especially Julie and carole for being missing in action.

Life has been just a little crazy over here both professionally and personally.  My personal life has kinda been in the forefront with some pretty big changes occurring but thats too long a story for here .

Anyway I really am sorry guys , hope you will all forgive my absence.

Julie , Carole , Are you still going to Ulm?

We are leaving the UK Tuesday and arriving in Bendorf on the Wednesday and then travelling to Ulm for the Thursday. I’ll email you both my mobile number as its set for international roaming ( gawd I am almost becoming organised, it wasn’t last year!)

I’d love to catch up with you on the Thursday before the event starts for a drink and a chat  and of course Julie I will bug the life out of you and Carole of course as we photogragph the event. I hope you fancy company as we work again this year. I have deffo secured my press vest this year for stadium access and will be taking a copy of the printed permission with me so this year  so that there isn’t any misunderstandings like last year!

Also other news is that I am definitely coming across for NASS, my tickets are all bought and booked as is the hotel , Heather from www.conbhaireangsd.co.uk  is coming with me definitely. Her hubby has agreed to watch all the dogs so she can have a holiday yay!

Anyway not much more to say for now , we did have a big dog show here last weekend , the biggest annual breed show in the UK The two Day National. The major honours went to a 9 month old puppy which is controversial in some respects but she is a beautiful youngster with excellent breeding from kennels who do everything by the book so to speak . The younsgter is a xamp daughter and lovely

Right hope you are all doing well , I am away to read the posts I have missed which is many!!

Hugs to you all

p.s carole I just spotted your website, its awesome ,I will add a link immediately to it on my site:)

 

I promised I would show Carole and Julie some of my old artwork from the days before my photography took over and I was a self employed starving artist. I’ll have to search the old external harddrive for more recent/better work but here are a few snaps of piccies painted /drawn in the past. 

I’ve edited the post to add some more piccies for you .. EEK , you did ask lol ;0)

The really starnge thing about me being an artist is that I am severely colour blind lol , it has made for some interesting errors over the years!!
