Baz’s Friday round up of the week.

Another two shows gone by -Lowick and  Loweswater show at Lorton (different parish) ,at least it was only across the road.

Took my grandson for his first taste of trailing, enjoyed himself at Lorton but didn’t see much of granddad.!

By the way Arthur and Irene Temple, who have had a quiet season, thought there luck had turned at Lowick when after finishing fourth and fifth in the pups got first and second prize money.

Also at Lowick,for the first time in my experience, a ‘young lady’ answering the ‘call of nature’ was stung by a bee.  Where was she stung ? you may ask!- well ! according to the local anatomist Wendy Dawson ‘ It was on the’ fluff’.

To save face the lady in question shall not be named but it cooled her passion down. By the way she would have used the show loos but couldn’t find them !

A few achievements last week Da Look winning nine veteran trails in a row . Nicola Napier , five placed hounds at Lortonswater show, Denis and company for perseverance with ‘ Hunters’  Although it is ‘up’ for some it is also down for others , Cathy and Joy, we are with you !

As for coincidences -two senior trails at Kentmere both won by Jenny’s Choice ,both in the same time.

Forgot to mention the ;driving’

Which entrance for Grasmere Sports -‘Top of the hill nearly opposite the lay by. Drove straight past it and last Sunday shot of the A66 at 50 mph towards Whinlatter with the words ‘ nearly missed that turning’
