Many thanks to the committee for my judging appointment and my two steward Pam and Kirsty who kept my ring moving. It had been a long wait for the exhibitors as we were in the ring after all the toy breeds so many thanks to you all for stopping . Also thank you for your patience as I really wasn’t feeling very well and I really hope I didn’t pass my germs onto anyone else
