I picked Carole up just before 7am , on a very frosty morning, for the 2 hour drive north to The Bon Accord Open Show, held now in the Thainstone Agricultural Centre near Inverurie.
Swallow did not accompany us as she is in season. The others, Spencer, Mo, Holly and George, were all placed but we didn't do anything spectacular. Spencer again came second to his slightly younger half-brother, Louis, in the Toy Veteran class, with Louis going on to win Best Veteran in Show for the second year running.
Holly, who is hardly ever shown, did not disgrace herself (nor embarrass me) by bouncing round the ring on her hind legs, with the lead in her mouth, which was, in itself, quite an achievement!
We stayed right to the bitter end to see the Best Veteran being awarded, by which time most people had drifted off, but one can hardly blame them as it was again very frosty when we loaded up the car and many exhibitors travel quite a distance from some pretty remote places. It was after 7pm when I finally reached home

An enjoyable show and, of course, VERY good judges! (Must remember those names!)
