Sitting in a caravan, in a thunderstorm, by a rising river, watching ducks enjoying themselves while eating an Indian take-away. Good food, good company - and a little edgy on account of the weather conditions, however that all just added to the event, a memorable meeting to be sure.

Andrew Taylor-Browne, Mugo and Adrienne Hodges by the river in Haydon Bridge, Northumberland. A rare meeting.

Nigel, Andrew, Mugo, Adrienne and three quarters of greyhound.

It's been wonderful to spend time with Adrienne, Andrew and Nigel - and doggy too of course. I'm refreshed and renewed, as if I'd been on holiday for a week. Thank you.

Where are we Adrienne?

Note the Rowan tree in the background, right.
