    Well done again Derek, but tell me, you seem to be the master at showing really 'unposed' photos, is it a camera/phone that is used here?

    Graham .. firstly re the pictures. My neighbour was using our camcorder and I have just taken some stills from it. We usally do that .. capture whatever it is at the time and then go for the still. While the camcorder itself is excellent the facility to take stills is a little added feature but unfortunately the quality is really naff. Still at least its something. We will get around soon to a digi camera.
    I should have mentioned that the fete was in aid of the Guide Dogs for the Blind ... there were several dogs there. However, whilst my cilt was quite popular, the grand star of the show was Charlie ... an eleven week old jet black labrador who has just started with a family for a twelve month of family intergration and puppy walking etc. He'll then move on to someone else for the proper guide dog training. I just had to attach these piccys of Charlie with the wife and me .. everybody just wanted to take him home.

    Hmmm, seems kilts would be a way to help the dogs get to know a man in the way dogs seem to prefer to do their introductions.....

    Alan ... Thanks for the compliments. Those two serious hotties you mention are both loyal Cilt supporters as it happens. They both think my Cilt is a 'cool piece of kit'.

    Derek,

    Your wife is lovely, and the lasses are pretty, but Charlie is adorable.

    I'm no great fan of Labrador Retrievers, but I'm not immune to the charm and intelligence that are plainly visible in the photos. I'm betting he will make someone a perfect companion.

    Labs...

    Great piccies, Derek, especially of Charlie! He reminds me of our black lab, Colt, who was stolen from us back in 2002. I miss that blockhead...and he really is a "Blockhead" Lab!

    I'm no great fan of Labrador Retrievers...
    I'll try not to hold that against you, Doc. :mrgreen:
