new addtition to the Velagota household!
















We've been keeping a lookout for another boxer since we lost Mags last year- the occasional one has come up at the rescue centres aroung the country- but they've either been too far away or not suitable for us. So when we saw this litter advertised in the next village we thought 'aw- lets just go and have a look' (yeh right!). It was a lovely family home with two boxers who were very much part of the family- baskets in the kitchen, children playing with the puppies- so how could we resist?!

Just need to come up with a name now!

New arrivals at Velagota-












latest photos of new chicks and baby bunnykins- so cute and fluffy- don't mention rabbit pie anyone!

Festa for Tose'






















Tose turned 50 this week and we held the party in our house. Only slightly hectic as you can imagine- not helped by the fact Tose told us it was 25 people right up to the last moment when he announced it was actually 40!






A great party anyway- and no shortage of Leitao (suckling pig) and wine (naturally!), finished off with some fado singing from Gloria and her brother, and some Beatles from me on the guitar! (everybody can sing along to 'Hey Jude'!)
