🎤🎶 Nocturne and Finlay My Christmas Card to you all…

This is my official blog Christmas Card. For those that don’t know , this is Finlay my very first Welsh Terrier. 

Unlike Roger he was bright. 

Unlike William he was selfish

And unlike Mary and Meg he was lazy, and cowardly but in a good way.

He was the first dog to both capture and tear my heart into pieces, and he started my love affair with a breed which is now rare, and remains the oldest in the British Isles.

I remember taking this photo 21 years ago.

Finlay was only four years old and he was asleep just before Xmas Eve in 2005

He slept through the silence of positioning the Prof’s Christmas Santa 

And. Didn’t notice it as he was fast asleep, warmed by the coal fire

I remember thinking of how lucky I was that evening . My husband was asleep in his arm chair with a bad tempered Scottie called Maddie at his feet. Finlay was snoring lightly on his sofa and old Joan the cat was curled up by the fire. 

The Christmas Tree was lit and it really felt like Christmas .

Like it does today 

So Happy Christmas my dear friends 

Happy Christmas …..I will leave you with this lovely piece above  from my lovely lisping Spanish choir…it’s called Nocturn …….I was in the audience for this ! 

My highlight of 2025

Happy Christmas My Friends…..
