Regional tests for the beauceron rouge.
Black and tan, but in French, bas rouge, red stockings.

I didn't know, until I was told, a day or two beforehand, that the twentieth
birthday is the big one here in France.
Okay, legally it means something to be eighteen, but to be twenty, it's the
tops, I'm told.
Joyeux anniversaire, Cline!

Hennebont, on the towpath, 13 September, 2007

Just preparing for the 220 km ride (and walk) from Hennebont to Chateaulin.
To raise money for the big project next year.
See
www.sllassoc.com
All to benefit riding for disabled people.

On the left, Verity, who is support and companion, to Shirley, who is riding.
Shirley, 75 years old, if I may say, is riding Bonny. She organised this trip, which required not a little work with regard to French bureaucracy.
To the right, Jackie, who instigated this movement.
