Do you mind? I'm trying to sleep!

A trip "down south" to visit Mrs Al's parents for a family gathering.

No visit would be complete without Winston, the faithful family dog.

Once a whirlwind of a black Labrador puppy, now a more gentile, refrained elder statesman, preferring the afternoon snooze to the after lunch walk and convinced that the car should be used to take him to and from the park rather than a tiring walk there himself.
