We also held a little competition for the best drawing for Adopt A Position which Rog judged. Congratulations to Kim Harrison for a very festive drawing, Remy even gave her time to wish us a Merry Christmas! How thoughtful of her! 😉

A special huge thank you and shout out also goes to Kim for making some spectacular presents for humans and dogs and not forgetting to mention her scrumptious cakes. She really is a very special lady, thank you from all of us 🤩

This is our last NWG of the year and what a fabulously Chrismassy one it was! I'm certainly ready for Christmas now! 🎄

I had a very busy day at The Great British Truffle Festival today. Last minute changes saw me running the ‘Have A Go’ arena instead of judging. The pic shows just a few of the 32 teams who had fun finding real truffles and truffle oil. What a pleasure to teach and watch. Wishing them all the best in their continued Truffle searching journey 🍄
