Abbreviated Bulletin

Sadly only a brief chat tonight. it was going to be longer but it was time to marzipan and ice the Christmas cake. Not as quick a job as I had hoped, tear and repair,gripment and slippage, deep folly oh Yes.

Darcy has come out of intensive care and has taken to blankie. he ate a croissant for his tea (I blame myself)

                                             "I'm feeling a bit ruff".

He has recovered enough to go up North for the latest fitting for his winter collection. He needs to up his game because the Nice Lady Next Door has a new resident. One who will challenge Darcy's title as cutest pooch on the estate. Morriaty to his Holmes, Montagu to his Capulet, tomorrow we will meet the jazz dog Gershwin.
