Dylan

I made a new friend yesterday, Dylan.  He's just a puppy, but bigger than me.  Anyway, we got on very well after a bit of mutual surveillance.  He's also a flat-coat and has very similar traits to me - handsome, friendly, fit, enthusiastic, etc.  Here we are having a romp in the snow near Monmouth.

Wind

Had a great walk (11 miles) last Friday in the Black Mountains. It was very windy and it made me very 'hyper'. I was haring around like there was no tomorrow. One of our party told Daddy that is what happens to children when it blows a gale. We had not heard that before.
