Annie and her Sheepdog friend, Nell

It is the time of year when we go on our holidays. We always go to Wales, where my in-laws have a caravan which is situated in a farmer's field, 5 miles up a mountain from Machynlleth, Powys.

The farmer is a sheep and cattle farmer and keeps 3 dogs to use for herding and rounding up the sheep. One particular dog, Nell, is a big softie, and took to my youngest daughter, Annie. While ever we were on the field, they were inseparable. :)
