Today
I need to think of good things ...
We had lunch at The Salutation Inn yesterday
We are going inside Stonehenge next Monday
I have read interesting library books on PoW exchanges in WWII (largely arranged through Lisbon) and German / British double agents in WWII (largely making contact with Germany through Lisbon)
The March Ansible has arrived
This white Burgundy is still very pleasant, two days after opening

Sunday
Grandad (Colin Wells) with Ch Woodlark, c1959 - 60.


Saturday
Tolkien slept here: http://www.herefordtimes.com/news/letters/11824442.Follow_the_Tolkien_Trail_at_Mordiford_/
I have booked sleeper tickets south from Inverness. We are aiming to do the whole journey, Bristol - Skye - Harris - Inverness - Bristol surface by public transport (although there may be the odd taxi thrown in, and hire cars on the islands).

Friday
Yes, I know it's the Daily Fail (complete with inaccurate reporting), but there are lots of great photos here.

I should dig up a picture of my Granddad with his dairy horse from about the same time or a little earlier.

I would like to see that.

I've found an old Photobucket upload of it here (http://s2.photobucket.com/user/Sir_Guinglain/media/scan0001.jpg.html).

Thank you for that.

Had Ch. Woodlark won a prize? What for?

I'll see if I can find something else good for you to enjoy, before Tuesday gets too far along.

It does look as though Woodlark had won a prize, doesn't it (which isn't surprising, as my grandad had a good record with his dogs). I guess that this one was for a dog show rather than a field trial, given my grandad's neatness.

And I shall look forward to that!
