Looks like it was 81p a litre and that would be worth queuing for these days

Horse trapped in the mud.

 The recent Australian horse stuck in the mud story reminded me that about ten years ago I was called by my daughter to a horse stuck in the mud a Combe Hay, when I arrived I though the horses chance of survival was small but with the help of 3 fire engines, firemen, a vet and digger the horse was rescued safely.

And apart from mud and exhaustion the horse was fine.    

Minnie's a Basset Fauve de Bretagne

A new dog in the family She's a Basset Fauve de Bretagne (basically a wire haired French Basset hound) called Minnie and belongs to Nicky and Andy.

 

  

Minne comes from a long line of prizewinners breed by Liz Thornton at Mochrashhounds, although she was the smallest puppy in the litter hence the name Minnie.
We will not be showing or breeding with her, just cuddling.
