The show itself was good, the courses were great and the atmosphere really nice. Maisie got a 7th in the agility over a pretty tricky course - I was a little surprised how many clears there were in grade 1 - the standard was good. We flunked out in the other two classes but never mind :o)
Finished early and so made an impromptu detour on the way home - to Ullswater which I think is possibly the most stunning of The Lakes. We ended up having a brill walk, and stopped for a bit on the lakeshore, where strange things happened ...
At first it was pretty normal - Maisie going splooshing and the boys dithering at the water's edge:
But then something strange happened. I threw the ball in for Maisie, but it went a little beyond her deep-paddling comfort zone and so it stayed there bobbing on the surface. Billy started getting a bit hysterical coz the bally was lost, then all of a sudden he waded right in and threw himself into a swim!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it - would've been less surpised if Maisie had signed a pledge of cleanliness, or Tim sat down and done a crossword puzzle.
Sadly for Billy, the tidal waves generated by his powerful paddling sent the ball bobbing further away from shore and he never actually retrieved it, but he went back in a couple of times and thoroughly enjoyed himself!!! A water baby is launched?!
Umm, Billy, you look kinda different since you went in the water:
Hey Tim, look, Billy's gone all ... small ... and white??!?! 
Duh, that's strange Maisie, but I'm a little worried - look, I got my freaky feet wet:
Heeheehee: 
& then a spaceboat appeared and took away the alien swimming Billydog: 
Posing and scenery:
& later, back home, Maisie having sweet dreams with her pink princess rosette:
