The shires look beautiful Karen, i bet you can't wait to get them in the field.
AS for Elsa's good behaviour I am pleased to say Loki is the same.
I have literally just got back after walking over to the Birmingham Carnival with him. The is a big funfair, very very loud booming bass music and crowds of people and he never put a foot wrong.
I have to add, the carnival is for Bhams afro-caribbean comminuty, and while we were there a huge group of hooded lads raced infront of us followed by a score of police. Just as we were leaving i heard one lad tell another '(someones) cousin has just been shanked..) and then they fled off into the fair! A minute later 6 police vans came sirens blazing down the road - the gang warfare had begun. So we made a swift exit! I was very relieved to have Loki with me as he parted the crowds brilliantly, i would have been too nervous to go over there without him.
