Dog Control

So after our great Easter break I fired up my work computer - 212 unread emails - great!. Mostly spam although the filters are set really high, and a few good leads for our business so something to get my teeth into straight away.

At the end of 2012, we had a new member join our family - Bella the rescue Weimaraner. She's absolutely beautiful and as gentle as can be - great with the children, but oh boy can she pull. As you know, we have just spent Easter in Norfolk (where coincidentally there was an abundance of Weimaraner's),  but one of the other owners was using a Halti collar to control theirs. Having chatted for a while we moved on amazed at the claims of this other owner in respect of this canine head collar.

Needless to say, this morning I purchased one for Bella and we proceeded to go for a walk. The result was instant. She did fight a little once it was first attached - pawing etc... but she soon realised it was there to stay until she was over the field and could run. Couldn't believe how something so simple could have such an effect. Worth every penny.

Anyway, we were lucky that the Grandparents looked after the children for the afternoon - Think they had missed them over Easter, so we collected them in the early evening and whilst driving home was presented with this fantastic sunset.

Going to be a cold night!

Annual Easter Trip

So today we have been to the School Easter Assembly - packed as usual but managed to get a seat - this is the first I have been. so am somewhat of an assembly virgin.I thought the whole performance was great until both my children started getting upset as they were led off stage back to class.

As soon as it had finished both my wife and I headed home and started packing for the Easter Break - hitching up the new to us (but old) caravan and heading for Clippesby Hall in Norfolk. We've been there a few years now at Easter and simply love it!

Collecting the children from school hitched up, we travelled for 2 hours without hassle to our destination - set up relatively quickly - not as quick as our Karsten Tent! but hey ho....we'll improve and settled down having played a few games on the cold camping field.
