Here is a short video of our walk.

Had a great day out with a couple of clients and the dogs in the Sierra Nevada. Khumbu and Bruno had a ball playing in the snow. Khumbu did his bit in helping pull Richard up hill on his skis (skijoring) whilst Bruno got the real fun part of chasing Richard on his skis down [...]
Have just spent the past hour and half brushing Bruno! I think he must weigh a stone lighter now. As you can tell from the photos theres a lot of hair that comes out of a Leonberger but dosnt he look a pretty boy now.

Well its that time of year again when the old bath in the garden gets filled up for the dogs to cool off in, this happens every year before the swimming pool is up and running. So I cleaned the bath out, helped by Khumbu (not) and then filled it up. Only seems to be [...]
Here is a video that is doing the rounds on you tube (there are many versions) this one has nearly 70,000 hits, its just a bit of fun.
Here is a short video giving you a taste of Semana Santa week here in Lanjaron. Unfortunately I went out on Maundy Thursday night which is a bit of a somber affair.
The best night, I have been told, is Holy Wednesday, on this night both Jesus and Mary come out, most of the 4000 population [...]
