We're Back
« on: March 22, 2004, 10:26:10 AM »
Hi All

Well after a mixed weekend we are back safe and although a little unstead on ones feet  :shock:

Get to the Show on Saturday morning and we are not in the Schedule  :cry: speak to the Show Secretary and they don't have an entry form for me.  At this point it looks like I had travelled for nothing.  Phoned up my telephone banking because I was pretty sure that the cheque had cleared and thankfully they confirmed this for me.

Douglas then wins Open Dog but misses out on Best of Breed.  He also wins AV Gundog Open Dog so I was pleased with is results.  Bart plays second fiddle to Douglas again :wink: but he showed really well for my friend.

Our trip back last night was awful and we were thrown around quite a bit on the boat.  The boat we usually go on has been cancelled for three days so we had to go on the slow boat which took 2 hours instead of 50 minutes.  Everybody was throwing up apart from the group I was with thank god, but the disinfectant spray that they sprayed even made you feel sick and it was so hot so this was another thing not in our favour.  But thankfully I made it back in one piece with out throwing up  :cry:  :cry:  The Boys in the car were fine and couldn't wait to get home and get bossed around by Seb.

Still feeling a bit funny this morning, what we do for Shows aye Guys.

Oh poor you Derryn - we on the mainland have it easy in comparison to you don't we? I'm not good on ferries at the best of times so wouldn't have managed as well as you! Well done on Douglas' wins anyway :)

Dessie,

I sympathise with you, I was once on a really bad crossing from France, the type where the floor falls away from your feet as you walk :shock:  when a friend asked me to help her to the ladies because she felt sick, I knew I shouldn't go in with her but......... just the sound of all these people hurling around me I felt I had to join in.... Don't like ferries any more :(

Well done Douglas though

Well done Dessie and Douglas!!! :D   The wins must have put a silver lining on the day.

Wot you complaining about - our fast ferry takes 2 3/4 hours  :(   :D   The one we had before that took 3 1/2 hours  :shock:

Glad you had a rewarding day, shame about all the hassles though.  You must be very dedicated  :D

Thanks Gilly it isn't usually that bad just really strong winds for us and parts of the UK over the weekend.  Just a bit silly to be on a boat I suppose.
