Liz had a lovely weekend in France, having been invited by the committee of the Bearded Collie Club de France to judge their National Club Show, held just outside the pretty village of Saint Sauveur sur l' Ecole, not far from Paris.

            The handsome "Byron" - Liz's choice for Best In Show

With a slightly better-than-usual number of Beardies entered it was a successful and happy show weekend, although the weather remained untypically cool and rainy most of the time.

Highlights of the trip included some super Beardies to judge, two great sightseeing trips to Paris, the best of company, good food and wine - and a reunion with Diva's brother  Turbo aka Int & Fr. Ch Talraz McLaren - the first chance to have a cuddle with him for four years, and what a handsome boy he has grown up into!
