CASTLE ASHBY ... a sunshiny day ...

Lovely blog Terra. Conker and Truffle both came up trumps there. Looked as though they enjoyed themselves. A lovely garden too, very interesting, thanks for sharing.

Truffle rises to the occasion bless him x

And what a beautiful stately setting, it looks lovely so well cared for, enhanced of course by Conker.... who else xxx

I nominated it for goypedia......I looked for the right category.......meerkats? rabbits? Ducks?......No got to be dogs in the garden
I loved the meerkats too though.........

Fabulous blog as ever TT what a lovely place to visit and a dog show too what could be better! Loving the Russian aristocats, bunnies and spotty pig and duck too but most of all Conker guiding us around and Truffle to the rescue entertaining a delighted audience - wonderful :o)

What on earth may i say other than delightful thankyou Tony

HIP, HIP, HOORAY for TRUFFLE, well done and Conker beware you have competition, you have trained him too well, lol.
A lovely blog Terra, you must have felt so proud of him and Conker did a marvellous job showing the delights around the gardens, it looks a good place to visit and so neat and tidy, I'd love to have posh raised beds like that and how I wish my salad crops looked as good, I love the Meerkats, they fascinate me and I can spend ages watching them.
Have to show my daughter Terra, its our kind of outing and having to pass through the plants has to be an added bonus, lol....

lovely blog Terra and great pics, conker sure enjoyed it to and getting in on all the photos i see haha, but he looks great.
Truffle im impressed with your new skills, well done good boy.
So looks like a great day had by all.
Lovely place to visit. :o)) xx

Thanks Neena, Tony, Sue and Sandra for sharing our outing ... it was a fun day. :o) xxx

Thank you for allowing me to share the day with you TT. I cannot get over how well behaved Conker and Truffle are. We have a Cocker Spaniel in our No2 family, and he's anything but well behaved, more like plain daft! Perhaps you could come and sort him out. ;0

Thanks Waddy ..
Sometimes Truffle can be mischievous !

Cocker Spaniels are wonderful aren't they ...
some are slightly scatty, but they are so lovely :o)

we enjoyed your walk around love all the pictures TT . we had a smile from start to finish very nice xxx

Thanks Mark, J and J ..
I hope Bonnie is feeling well now :o) xxx

That's great news that Bonnie is well and playing again :o)))

Another highly entertaining blog, with some wonderful photographs, a very well looked after estate is always a pleasure to visit. And Truffle to the rescue, well done that boy!!

Truffle the hero, saved the day! Well done - he has obviously been taking note of all that Conker does. Looks a lovely place to visit too, a good combination of garden and animals :)

Thanks Dotty and Gee ..
Yes... the Castle Ashby is neat and attractive.

This summer, Truffle and Conker are enjoying practising their tricks routines in my back garden. :o)

Clever boys learning new tricks and winning prizes :o)
