Happy New Year from the Three Amigos

Today I went to meet feathers to collect the precious bundle of Amigos from New Jersey. Their Mum Kelso has sent the miniature versions of her boys Kelso, Rowan and Trigger on a round the world Blip trip and I am honoured to be their next host.

It was great to meet feathers and her lovely daughter & son in law; she has given the Amigos many adventures and was able to warn me what to look out for! We had coffee in a farm shop cafe - feathers' dog Izzie decided that my Lizzie was too big for her and Lizzie felt Izzie was too little - the humans were much more sociable. See extras for the official handover and the Amigos looking lovingly at the amazing bacon sandwich....

Back at home, Lizzie made friends with Trigger the greyhound - under close supervision of course.... see extras. 

Finally, we are all ready to see the New Year in Yorkshire style - Rowan and Kelso are tucking into traditional Yorkshire fayre: Yorkshire Pudding, plus Christmas cake with Wensleydale cheese. I have been warned that Trigger likes a tipple so I have put him on the waggon - strictly Yorkshire tea only for a few days. We are listening to The Kaiser Chiefs, The Arctics, Pulp and of course the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band. Maybe after a few sherries we'll be Agadooing to Black Lace. Maybe not. 

Enjoy your celebrations, if the year has been kind to you I hope the next one is too, if it hasn't then good riddance x
