A great success.

A Saturday morning for venturing down to the canal. In these pandemic times  - 20,000 cases reported yesterday -  not a soul about. Sophie can hurtle down the towpath as fast as those titanium knees can carry her.

En route she also discovers that the back floor of the new dog car is higher ... much higher ....

.... than in the old VW. The window is also lower. This means she has an uninterrupted panoramic view out of the rear . On the journey home she sits bolt upright in amazed silence punctuated by occasional squeaks.

Angus orders some chocolates from London. They arrive in two days. By the end of the year, post Brexit, shipments will take much longer. After dinner  'The Font' has not two but three. A most unLutheran calorie overload. The Rose and Geranium Ganache is tried first but isn't a great success. The Dark Chocolate Almond Cluster is.
