SCOTTISH/SWEDISH STYLE WEDDING

Dick and Wilma Morrison (Bowerswell) from Scotland are well known on the dog show scene and have been part of it for over 30 years with their Cavaliers and Beagles. Their daughter Nadine, who has been living in in Sweden for many years got married recently to Jorgen Ronning and the proud parents of the bride travelled over for the wedding. I have known Nadine since she was a toddler.
Here are some lovely photos of their unique, special day. Nadine writes"We were married on the banks of Grövelsjön, Dalarna by a registrar followed by fun, games and an evening meal at the mountain lodge Grövelsjön Fjällstation. The following night we had a Ceilidh with haggis, neaps n tatties and homemade whisky sauce. Loads of millionaire shortcake, shortbread and tunnocks teacakes. Guests were family and a few close friends" all the best to the happy couple for their future happiness

DOG FRIENDLY PLACES

from Alice Scanlon...."What a super idea this is and it would be useful if places which will take more than two dogs could be listed. We have real problems trying to find somewhere for our three. We like to take them with us, mainly because they are all much too old to leave with someone who doesn't know them and understand their funny little ways. We did stay at The Duke of Wellington at Danby North Yorkshire in August and they made us very welcome. The girls were allowed to sleep in our room and they set up a dining area in the bar area for us so that they could be with us whilst we ate. I have looked at many cottages etc which state 'dogs welcome' only to find that the small print will say 1 or 2 well behaved dogs welcome, usually at a charge (sometimes as much as £15 per dog per night) which on top of rental for cottages makes for an expensive holiday.

The Duke of Wellington, an attractive 18th Century inn providing good Bed and Breakfast accommodation in Danby at the heart of the North York Moors, near to Whitby and the coast. The Duke of Wellington Inn overlooks the village green at the centre of Danby and is considered by many to be the most handsome Inn on the North Yorkshire Moors with beamed bars and open fire.
