Just back from a couple of days with Sophie in Leeds. We had a lovely time, two theatre trips and a visit to Fountains abbey. A very slow and tedious journey home today though. The dog came with us and appeared to hate every minute of her holiday, shivering and shaking when we made her go for a walk round the park. I'd always assumed she didn't like the country because she was a townie - obviously not!!! So she's glad to be home, and the cats are fine too.
