Here is the photo I mentioned the other day – from left at the back (humans first) are Wink, George and John, two brothers who were staying with us for the summer, one of the sisters who were Wink’s French pen friends, I think this one was Pascal.  Front row are me, Pearson, who was my mother’s godson and also spent summer holidays with us, and my mother.

Dogs – Simon, the patriarch of the family, Huckleberry his son, Bess (with her mouth open), the mother, Kipper, Huck’s brother, who lived next door, and Jess, Huck’s sister, who belonged to our gardener and lived in the house opposite.

                                                                              And here is a close-up of Huckleberry.  Lovely dog.
