Out of mum and dad's conservatory
A lot of flower for this time of year
Yeah, they've got another similar, and one just flowering over the top... Luck so and so's! I've been watching tits and finches and a female blackcap making the most of the dry. No camera tho coz thdog would eat it
The boys and I ventured out in the hideous wet weather yesterday - I had to go full on waterproofs and they had to have their drying robes on when we got back . There are signs of spring popping up everywhere - daffs and violets braving the wet and wind - when it's calm and sunny it's delightful - say's she as the magnolia is doing an impression of the 'whomping willow' it's a bit like the winter of 2013/14 again with relentless storms. Anyhooos... a picture to brighten the day

Blimey the youngsters grown Cin, I remember when he was no bigger than a ewe
Golly Gosh, certainly has grown ... is he from same breeding stock as the Bear, looks more golden with much 'daintier' feet
Couldn't resist a bigger pic!

How many of those aforementioned drying robes to a washing machine load?
Well spotted Wendy - he has really neat feet at the moment - It's difficult to say what colour he will finish up as there is still a lot of puppy fluff but he should darken up as the outer guard hair develops but the big bear is never the same through the seasons.
Not the same lines as the Bear but from bear's dad's breeder - who is a very good friend.
1 if it's Erik's
Many thanks for that info Caroline, will be interesting to follow his progress to adulthood!
