A Visit from Doreen and Norman

This is Findlay. All their dogs in recent years have been named after Scottish rugby internationalists. He has had major

Surgery in the last few weeks but is recovering well.

A group photo. It will be 2 years since we were last all together. Hopefully we will meet up again in Wales next year.

Gaye and Doreen have been friends for about 50 years.

We visited Samye Ling and in the small loch there we saw 3 families of Ducks.

The Monastery at Samye Ling and when Doreen and Norman last visited it was only built on one side instead of the 4 now.

A Wee Bobby Dazzler

Unfortunately Scotland had an off day and the Welsh proved much too strong for us but it was an enjoyable day for everybody. Hannah proved to be a real star and captivated everybody with her charm. She posed for photographs before we all headed off to Murrayfield with a couple of flags made by her and Mummy.

Doreen and Spike

Spike the Jack Russell terrier is almost 18 years old and has been Doreen's faithful friend for as long as I can remember. Each time in the last few years we go to Wales we think it will be the last time we see him, but loving attention from Doreen and Norman have kept him going. However we all think that he will not last much longer as he is getting frail, but at the same time still full of character. This photo of him and Doreen is a tribute to the wee dog that has given all of us such pleasure over the years.
