Life in snow-stricken Shropshire: in pictures

Ratlinghope has been badly hit by the snow, but unlike other parts of the UK where the buses, trains, planes and underground (cant work that one out!) have stopped, but all of our public services appear to be still working, we even had post today!!

I am starting to get very bored now, so I went to see if the course was in any fit state to train on...

Hello,

Not much to report really.. There is no training all this week as we still cannot get cars in or out of the house.

More snow is forecast for Thursday, so I’m not sure when I will be out of the house next! Need a four-wheel drive I think, rather than a estate car and a van.

Am looking forward to Everton v Liverpool FA cup match this evening, for those who don’t know I am a huge Everton fan, and could have got tickets for tonight but the weather put paid to that plan!!

Hope everyone is well. Take care out there.

Snow photos - Monday 2nd Feb

Like most of the rest of the UK, we have had a major fall of snow. There will be no training at LGT until Wednesday at the earliest but I will contact those who are due anyway.

Here are some pictures that we took while out earlier today!

Lee & Scott visit a primary school!

Hello, I’ve been really busy lately training and then evening working most days so I have not been putting much up here.

Something of interest was the day trip into a Telford Primary school last Thursday. I took 4 jumps, v weaves and Scott with me to do an agility demonstration. The kids all loved it. I then toured the class rooms and all 300 kids met Scott (some spoke to me but Scott was the main draw!) and the different age groups had different projects to do based on me and my agility dogs. It was great to see the children so excited and working so hard.

In each of the classrooms I was asked questions too... Now i have done many training seminars, and never have a few questions thrown me as much as the ones I was asked by the kids. Here is my top five of the day which I really found hard to answer:

1) How long is your dog?
2) Why do you train so much?
3) What do you eat? Is it the same as Scott?
4) Why did Scott destroy one of the jumps? (Yes Scott out of 5 runs knocked one pole and they of course found it hilarious that the jump fell to pieces!)
5) Will you be on the Olympics?
6) Have you trained a Rottweiler?
7) Are you fit?! (I so wanted to give my witty answer!)

I am hoping to get some pictures from the day up here but can’t promise because of legal issues with photo’s at School etc.

Thanks to the School for a fantastic day. School dinner was fun in the school hall!!! I felt like a kid again... had my daily Milk carton!

Check out Annette Faulks who stars in Trinny & Susannah Meet Their Match (8.00pm ITV this evening).

Annette is a good friend of mine and I had to embarrass her (also see agility net forum!).

No show this weekend!

No show results this week I’m afraid..

I was really disappointed not to be able to go to Ribble show on Sunday, we got up at 4.30am to find it snowing hard and a fair bit of snow on the ground.

We walked to the road and it was in a bad condition. For anyone that knows where we live and know the roads around us will know why I decided not to risk driving out in the van. It was really bad and I doubt we would have infact made it to Shrewsbury had we set out anyway!

It has been a nice day and we walked the dogs several times, and messed about in the snow. I really hate missing shows and had been doing a fair bit of training this week ready for Sunday, but it wasn’t to be.

Next show is Mid February and then end of March... so it is now a long couple of months but never mind, there’s still plenty to look forward too!!

Best wishes – Lee
