James would like to announce the birth of a new little family....

 
8 weeks old, and all sold, these 4 handsome babes are the puppies of a jack Russell which lives in our village.  Her owners were keen to let her have one litter, and are so absolutely delighted with these little cuties that they now think they may have another litter in a year or two! The dog pup who is laying down has completely wild hair, there is a smooth haired bitch, and the other two bitches have slightly wild hair. They are tiny. Absolutely miniscule. Its a good job there's no room in this house for another canine, or I would have popped one in my pocket and hoped it wasn't noticed.

Here's the proud dad. The mother, by the way, is mostly white with tan patches, and smooth haired. One has to assume, therefore, that the black coat of their dad is the dominant gene for colour!
 
The big boy popped home for one day to bring his shotgun back from University. He has now returned to his University accommodation to pack up his worldly goods and transfer them to his new accommodation near Ashby de la Zouche (where he will be working from mid July for a year). He's also off on a short tour of the South West visiting friends, then end-of-year Ball, rush home for an 18th he doesn't want to miss, and off to China. What a pace to live!
 
Youngest has just been offered 8 weeks with regional Chartered Surveyors to his great delight, meaning excellent experience prior to starting at the Royal. He will fill his other weeks with labouring for the Farmer, making a study of the Farmer's Weekly magazine and a little R&R.
 
I went to work again today, and I can proudly announce that all departing guests were cleaning angels, and left their accommodation in tip-top condition. If only all guests were made this way!!
 
Ta-ra for now mateys X
