5th - Who's a Pretty Boy Then?

Lapworth, Warks. view map

It was Smokey's turn to impress today - he and Naomi came second (yay!!) in the 2'9 class up in Lapworth in Warwickshire. And how apt that we were where we were today of all days - William Catesby, the father of Robert Catesby of the Gunpowder Plot fame, lived in the village in the 15th century

Fellow Pbase and local resident John Reynolds dropped in to say hello - it was lovely seeing you again John, albeit briefly!

And as is becoming all too frequent on my PADs, I must apologise for not keeping up with your photos and with my comments - I will get round to them all eventually though :o)

Smokey is looking very proud in this image. I even detect a bit of a grin. Congratulations to him and to Naomi.

He's looking good, the blue earing doesn't suit him though.
