Here is Linus, a Dutch Beagle who came into Ryantown last Sunday with his camera shy friend, Barney the Border Terrier. I suppose, given past blog posts, I should confess that my enthusiasm in watching (Arsenal play) football and the affection I feel for the dogs that come into Ryantown is not supported by any real knowledge of either. I could no sooner explain the offside rule as recognise a breed of dog. So, that's why after I stroked and scratched the ears of this gorgeous creature I had to ask the owner.
We had a lovely weekend in the shop. Somehow peaceful and chaotic at the same time. I think what made it particularly enjoyable were the conversations. This weekend was full of them. I do love it when people come back to show us their new babies, or introduce us to the friend they bought a tile for, or come by specially to say how much they loved their print. We also had lots of four legged visitors. Three month old french bulldog Atom was happy to gaze directly at the camera to have his photograph taken.
