Auch, weell:  thanks Cliffie, your Dad´s recipe is virtually exactly the same as Mum´s, you must be very close in origin to us!  Bet it´s really good.  It was the first time we got to taste it and we were hoping you´d give us an excuse (read justification) to get another try....

Dad says Mum drives too fast through Alsace to ask their names, but if we knew where they were, we could stop specially and take some Spanish ham and olive oil and almond turrón and things, if they like that sort of thing - then I could sneak up on the ankles.........and Islay could maybe snitch some of that lovely Alsacian dry white wine or dry beer and some sausages and cheeses and waffly things and......

Your Dad sure knows the best places t have relatives, do you two ever come over here visiting?  A trip to Scotland - France and Spain would make a great holiday and when we travel through France we stay in some great places where they let us stay in lovely rooms with Mum & Dad and even let us in the cocktail bar - just not in the restaurant.  We reckon that´s because too many hoomans drop stuff and pick it up to eat again - ´cos if they dropped it and didn´t want it, they´d let us in the restaurant, right?

hope you & your Dad make it to our neck of the woods & to Europe soon,
thanks for writing to us

I've never been across the pond, but Dad has been to Strasbourg and the general area (and up the Route du Vin) 3 times.  He has a god-daughter who is 3 and he needs to go back and see her again, but when he only has 10 days for holidays it is difficult.  He really wants to go to Scotland (maybe he can find some relatives in Ayrshire as well!!!) and the Alsatians want to take him to southern France and Italy and Greece and Spain.

Our mumsy is also Scottish, she says its to bad that dad is English, Duh we don't know why she says that. Mum emigrated when she was 15 from Renfrew. Nannie is going to stay with her girlfriend in Dumbarton and spend some time on Harris with her sissie. Mum says your dads choice of whiskey is good, she used to sail round there when she was younger

Hi there, da gang!  How´s things down undre today?  It was great to hear from you. 
Mum says it´s not THAT bad to be English, but it´s better if you´re from the North?!  We don´t really know much about it, just that we like it wherever people like us, and that seems to be just about every place.
Bet your Nannie has a great visit, Scotland is beautiful everywhere anyway, but we ´specially love the Isles - we go by boat/car every year to Galloway, then onto Iona - Islay - Lewis - Harris then Skye (Portree) before going back to Galloway and Lancashire after that (Nana and Grampy moved there so Grampy is nearer the hospitals).  We love Scotland for grousing, fishing and swimming in Lakes, rivers and the sea - chasing seals - and ´specially shrimping in rock pools, we´re experts and think they´re really funny and tasty.  Sure beats working.
Wishing you all a g´day mates.
Red and Islay

Red, you are simply tooooo handsome for words!  Smooches to you sweet boy...I'm sorry I missed your DOD but it sure was nice to read all about you and see your pictures! 

[Spanish Teckels]

Awwww, you´re making me blush!

A little bird has told me you might be saving a little wiry gentleman of your own, here´s praying it all works out the best for all of you and let me know if I can come and play - I don´t see any bearded dachsies where I live and it´s bad enough being plucked without being shaved too to fit in with the smoothies, don´t you think?
