We have just come back from a great weekend away in Dornoch in the far north of Scotland. Tilly was beautifully behaved (apart from the odd whine in the car) and much loved and admired by everyone who met her.

Tilly has decided she quite likes Dornoch - everyone makes a fuss of her and she gets to spend a lot of time being petted in the hotel bar, while lying next to an open fire (she's also discovered she likes Guiness too - just don't tell anyone (she is Irish after all!)). Having walked her legs off most of the weekend on the beach, across the golf course, through the snow and in forests, she's returned home for a well earned rest! On the way up to Dornoch we stopped off at the Hermitage, where Tilly was impressed to discover that squirrels are also available in red....... let's just say she definately has a very strong chase instinct! Luckily she was firmly attached to a lead (where she will remain!), although Andrew could do with a new shoulder now!

Tilly thought you might like to see some snaps of her on holiday - she hopes it won't make the other greys too jealous! No doubt she'll share tails of her adventures when we meet up at the weekend.....
