BTs at da Park

I had a most amazing weekend and I  wanted to be able to share it with you....a few weeks ago we went to meet a whole bunch of our friends from Twitter...which was an amazing treat and an honour.....when Marley started the Border Terrier Posse on Twitter four years ago we never realised that we would one day get to spend the day playing with other border terriers and talking to their staff....but four years later we have 440 friends in all corners of the world and we are truly grateful for their friendship and support.....and this weekend we got to do it again with another part of the Posse...and this time we remembered to take a few photos...and so did others!!

I caught the train to London with Miss Lola.....

We had a bit of a yack about the people we would be meeting.....

...and of course we made sure that we had our ID with us...I think it got me free travel on the train....

...we arrived at Hyde Park in plenty of time.....but its a big place and we had to search for everyone....


.....the very handsome @tedterrier was there.....

...and @BettyLhaSchnoo came with @chillterrier....

Mr Timmy @chillterrier and the typist had a bro-mance going....

...we had a guard of honour...or were Jack, Molly and Lexie just helping police with their enquiries?.....


the staff had been asked to bring the treats....they proved to be popular.....

....but I dont know if our photos are really doing the event justice so I will let you look at the wonderful video that @jackmolly3 made from all the best of everyone's efforts....Jack and Molly came all the way from Bristol to see us all....and they gave us treats....



....here we all are....

.....can you see me at the front there?...from left to right I think we have Hetty,  Moley (peeking out from behind Clare), Sid, Betty, Lola, Me!, Seb, Timmy, Betty, Ted, Molly, Jack, Winston (back), Bramble (front), Maggie May, Jess....
...we really did have the most amazing day and we got to chat about dear old Marley with some of his friends which was very nice although it made us miss him so....and we say a special thanks to Betty and Miss Stella @smcheetham for doing all the hard work to get things together......they did an amazing thing.....

....we had a big picnic under the tree and then we had to head for home because we had to pick up the family and rush back to London again in the evening....everyone else stayed in the park and some of them even went swimming....Miss Lola found it all a bit overwhelming....
..in the evening we gave William a treat for finishing his exams and went to a famous club in London called Ronnie Scott's.......it's a jazz club...and we went to see the Kyle Eastwood Band....Mr Kyle is just as talented as his famous father, Mr Clint!

...but there were strict rules about no phones or photos in the club so we just have this quick peek of the stage to prove we were there....

.....the band were amazing and a real inspiration...here's a quick clip of them playing in France....(although apart from Mr Eastwood the band we saw was all different players)...
