Ali, I wondered if James's rabbit had babies. Isn't that spooky that something told you to check outside in the night. We had horrible weather here too Friday night, but I slept through it. Saturday afternoon was awful, I'm surprised anyone came to my party, the weather wasn't too bad until 3pm, then people started arriving and it started to rain and blow and didn't stop until Sunday morning. The party was still fine though, we decided to stay at home and not use the village hall and glad we did. We even collected the bouncy castle in the hope that the weather would improve and we could put it up. Still lots of friends came, some who I haven't seen for a few years and don't see often and we all had a good laugh.

Elspeth, I'm hoping to meet you when you come to visit Ali. Is Gregor coming with you? I'm hoping to send the children off on a holiday on 3rd August, so I'll be able to come to Paignton Show. I can't wait for Prima to have her season, I'm so excited. Hope Ceilidh doesn't have an accident, you could have some surprise puppies of your own. I think I would stop walking her too or keep her on a lead so you know where she is.

Diva is naughty still feeding Trifle, what a lucky cat though. If Domino hadn't been spayed, I'm sure that's the sort of thing she would get up too. She's a minx today turning out a rubbish bag and spreading the contents across the garden, then a couple of hours later throwing up by the back door. What lovely dogs we have!
