    Oh yes...got in and out without any trouble, just got close to home, the M74 and the sky lit up, like daylight, and then...........hail stones, and they were stones crashing against the windscreen, I thought that is was going to shatter. We ended up only able to do 30mph so we went cross country, much more sheltered, but hey I was still getting my second. the highest that we have had only had 3rds before, so was pleased, would have liked a 1st but beggars can't be choosers. Will you be at ISAE? not sure if I am going to go, getting too old for all those long journeys. Speak soon Dee and the girls

    Hi there Rita
    Just hop a train or plain and I will meet you at this end..Anyone volunteering is greatly welcomed... No I think that Mr J reminds me so much of Scarlet ''husband'' do you remember my Scarlet, probably not....but they made the most wonderful babies...Harley and her. I think perhaps he reminds you of the same boy...Eh???
    Nicole has put some pictures on Saffy's blog such lovely dark babies and what wonderful heads...Hope to speak soon Love to all Dee and the girls

    Thanks for the welcome - I'm enjoying looking at the site. I heard about you too! I'm not a "proper" setter person like you who breed & show but I do love my boys!!
    I miss Shelagh too - she was great for a chat anytime & a real help when anything doggy was worrying me.
    Maybe we'll meet up one day - Joan
