Christmas Greetings 2020
....and what a year it has been; who could have thought
that Crufts would be the last and only Show on the calendar - and Blondie's last appearance.
however, we have youngsters just waiting for the off and I have had hours of
grooming practice -
let us hope that 2021 begins to show the light and we can come through
to something we can recognise as normal.
Happy New year !
