Stand still, say cheese. (You must be joking!)

When I was a child my Grandmother always used to say to all the grandchildren "when it's your birthday you can do whatever you like for a special treat". I always chose a family outing to the Lyons Corner House in Piccadilly Circus.

As the Corner a house is no longer there and we are rather a long way from Piccadilly Circus, Bud chose for his special treat, a walk along the Blackwater River with all his doggy friends. He loved it and so did his friends, 15 of the most amenable and loveable dogs you could ever find.

They weren't too happy about standing still to have their photo taken but I got most of them!

The only fly (dog) in the ointment was Poppy who disappeared for a while to chew on an old weathered deer's skull!
