Summer

Has been a busy 3 months, Splash`s 3 babies are well and truly gone Buzz winning Baby in Show at his 1st day out living in W.A. with Mel. Priscilla`s babies also went I have kept Samira (Sammy) and Jack left last week for Sweden these 2 now 14 weeks old. Still regrowing Alex now 2 months will be ready early 2011.
Have been to China and Hong Kong with Anne really loving it, beyond my expectations. I loved it all, from the Great Wall to the Terracotta Warriors AMAZING. Catching a overnight train from Beijing to X`ain what a experience was National Day the next day 22 million people live in Beijing must have been 1 million at the train station I kid you not, I have never seen anything to compare here in Sydney our Tour Guide Eric was fabulous putting us both safely on that train before he left (think I reminded him of his mum!!!)Shoe shopping if your foot is small is to DIE for all over China. H.K very busy 10 million, shopping not as good as I had hoped managed to buy a camera/video not released here as yet just love it, my best Shopping was in Macou at the Venetian Casino what a place bigger than anything in Vegas.
Jonno has been to The Cup again no big wins with LOTS OF RAIN still he Deb and Rachel had a good time. Anne and I have booked our next BIG trip a return Business Class ticket to New York and Hawaii can hardly wait.

Spring is here

Winter

A lapse of 3 mths a very cold winter Alex seems to prefer the cold for showing, Shari is with Mel in Perth and both are happy she can now win points for her CHAMPIONSHIP. House almost finished with gardens and fences complete looking GOOD. My brother from Perth and Sharon have both visited I have been down to Adelaide with Shaz some very good retail shopping great bargins in that industry.
Demi passed away 3 weeks ago sad for John to lose her at 16, both Priscilla and Splash are having babies to Alex due end of July. Thinking I would like to go to World Dog Show in 2011 as its in Paris, I am going to China and Hong Kong as well will be a busy year. I have returned to W.W. good while it lasted (not going)will miss the fruit and nut bread at Gloria`s that lead to my needing to AGAIN lose weight.
