And I am filled with garden-envy every time I see your photos of trees and fields. I wondered if you'd discovered RE, a fab online shop based in Northumberland - I thought their stuff would appeal to you seeing your beautiful red chair and Union Jack cushions (their green glass jugs and cakestands are great).

(I do wish comments would allow italics, as I am always searching for emphasis, and capital letters are such a blunt tool.)<br /><br />Ruthie Jay - So pleased you like the pictures. I must admit I was a bit of a poodle snob. I thought we should have tough mongrelly working dogs in this neck of the woods, like my two mutts. But actually she is a dear, so it just shows one must not give in to uninformed bigotry.<br /><br />Melissa - am I right in thinking this is your first comment? If so, WELCOME. Just ran over to your blog and it is absolutely beautiful. I am looking forward to reading it. So very pleased you like the canines.<br /><br />BrightYangThing - what a great story. Local Hero is one of my favourite films of all time.Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-87273101163955033192010-07-15T17:43:02.898+01:002010-07-15T17:43:02.898+01:00Tania

Local Hero came out when I was living in NYC and had a very mixed reaction among the audiences there but it has long been one of my all time favourites, not least because of the wonderful locations. Last year we had the wonderful opportunity to sail the west coast in a friend’s yacht and anchored one night just off Arisaig with the views of Eigg, Rhum and Muck behind us; we watched the dvd of LH. Perfect. I digress. I often do. <br /><br />There is a wonderful line when the high powered American oil exec pops into the little village shop to purchase some essentials. He needs shampoo. “Dry, Greeezy or Normal?” asks the matriarchal shop owner. A moment to ponder and the visitor replies “Normal. EXTRA Normal!” Then the bottle is handed over with an “ach, look..... this will do your dandruff too.” Priceless. Only in Scotland I think! I am of course extremely Extra Normal. My friend was the fiddle player in the Ceilidh scene too, though he wasn’t my friend at the time. <br /> <br />Love the dogs, despite being utterly un doggy in the ‘I don’t have any’ sense. They are gorgeous; I expect they know it! The chair is pretty hot too!<br /><br />p.s.<br /><br />If you tackled that pile of papers, might you just find the manual? ;( Otherwise, try on line – you can often download such things. Or get on to a user website and beg a copy. I have it on reliable authority that Googling is a perfectly legal activity between consenting adults. <br /><br />Love the Blog and your thought processes. Addictive though it is.BrightYangThinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18160676752288900248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-2427819233950600402010-07-15T17:35:05.777+01:002010-07-15T17:35:05.777+01:00wnat a precious dog! xoxownat a precious dog! xoxoMelissa Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09975477573895818097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-28490478438199335982010-07-15T15:56:52.115+01:002010-07-15T15:56:52.115+01:00Your dogs are beautiful, as always.

I am forever trying to convince people of the benefits of poodles. It annoys me when people laugh at them. Wonderful pictures as always!ruthie jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14362167253729492279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-75023911315490496142010-07-15T14:26:56.046+01:002010-07-15T14:26:56.046+01:00Your doggies look so sweet...
