    Hi Donal - love your photos, great colours!
    Sounds fun travelling by train with dogs up to Scotland. A bit cramped in the sleeper maybe with all 6 of them:-))

    Miller would like everyone to know that it is his third birthday today. He woke up at 6AM in order to ensure that everyone knew that it was a special day. His sister Grouse who lives with him is looking forward to the party. She is not too bothered about the candles but adores the cake, We all wish his brother Becks who lives with Sheila in Scotland a very special day.

    Best wishes to all our friends.

    Bella, Brandon, Merlin and Paddy
