The worst ones used to sell to the bloke with the van on the market, who then took the puppies (no questions asked) and sold them wherever he could get a profit. They probably still do sell in a similar way. There used to be regular stories of convictions in the local rag too . . .<br /><br />Pat - We would LOVE to go to Tennants - we know of it, and how good it is, but not very local for us! It looks like our eldest daughter is going to be staying in Yorkshire for the forseeable future so perhaps we should get someone to cat-sit and give ourselves an auction away . . .Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-47785261887904849252015-07-02T01:10:00.818-07:002015-07-02T01:10:00.818-07:00This looks the farmers sort of gathering.

They are lovely people, local and started from quite humble beginnings but have built the business up - the buildings alone have cost several million to build and they have a huge specialist staff. The next fine art sale is mid July and my friend and I went round looking at some of the beautiful stuff on offer. (Bosendorfer Grand, Rolls Royce, Porsche, beautiful china and furniture). The cafe, which is open all day and has a constant stream of customers, is lovely and there is also a conference room which can be hired and a top class restaurant. If you are ever in the area do call in. Go on Tennants Leyburn to see what it is like.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-27522487114048101932015-07-01T02:54:02.343-07:002015-07-01T02:54:02.343-07:00how lovely to see little Molly thriving.

I was disappointed when in Wales, to see puppies advertised at the road side, with sellers offering up to 10 different breeds on the same premises. At least this sweet dog has been rehabilitated.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-58715759109467634082015-06-30T04:03:39.170-07:002015-06-30T04:03:39.170-07:00My village friend`s OH would have loved the statio...My village friend`s OH would have loved the stationary engines :-) <br /><br />I prefer the dogs and it was lovely to see Molly the rescued spaniel.

More room and you can always buzz off to the beach afterwards, or have a nice walk in the woods. I was glad we got in free, as I thought £5 a head was OTT for what you got.<br /><br />Sue - I can live without them too, although the little one grinding the corn at least had a purpose! Of course I'll show the coffer when it's done. So far K has replaced two broken feet - though you should have heard him muttering darkly as he had to saw through a length of old oak he had (finding a stray nail or two). I have polished the brass escutcheon which is the original one and nicely engraved. We will leave the blue paint on the inside, but rub down the outside completely to get all the brown paint off the panels - WHY did they paint it? It's brown already and much nicer than dull finish brown paint.Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-33809546114404974732015-06-29T10:51:15.793-07:002015-06-29T10:51:15.793-07:00Is there anything more boring to look at than Stat...Is there anything more boring to look at than Stationary Engines?!<br />Seriously old coffer, hope you will show us pictures of it after restorationSue in Suffolkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166036914348424622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-10259052691394608272015-06-29T10:29:25.559-07:002015-06-29T10:29:25.559-07:00we missed the steam fair right up Martins street a...we missed the steam fair right up Martins street although I think there is another one in Pembery later in the year :-) Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05213759909336433460noreply@blogger.com
