We have decided that we are completely insane!!!
After spending 2 hours digging the van out on the Friday, parking it on the main (ish) road then getting up at 5am transporting all the dogs and bags to the van - letting it defrost for half an hour and then taking 20 minutes to get to the top of the main (ish) road to the proper main road which usually takes 2 minutes before even properly setting off to Peterborough for the Show and then to top it all the windscreen wipers broke so had to travel 200 miles round trip stopping every so often to clean the windows - plus the A1 heading South was not the best in some places and we seriously considered turning around - why oh why do we do this ...... (because we love it that's why!!!)
Anyway on finally arriving we had a change of judge to Mr Mick Gordon who awarded Newlaithe Conjured Design first in Puppy and Newlaithe On Target JW ShCM second in Open (behind the Top Winning Boxer 2009 - who incidentally went on to win Best of Breed), in the girls Stolen Melody took second in Junior
