Thanks to all of you who left comments wishing me well.  I'm happy to report that I'm not quite over the muggy head or the coughing, but I'm slowly improving.   Stevan is not best pleased with me though - I seem to have given it to him.  Oops!

Our friends who were staying with us last week sent through some great photographs of their visit, but one photograph in particular made me realise I really shouldn't force my colour choices on to our dogs.  I hadn't appreciated how much my love of pinks and purples had influenced my choice of collar for Peggy:

Just about an exact match!  I should add that is not Peggy's best angle - she looks much better face on.

That's better.
