Title: Re: Where were Finn and I, Cup Final day 2018? Post by: JayMac on May 19, 2018, 20:13:52 Excellent guess bobm.
Now, weren't you with me today? Title: Re: Where were Finn and I, Cup Final day 2018? Post by: bobm on May 19, 2018, 20:27:22 And a good afternoon it was.
Slightly concerned that the first photo appears to show you attach Finn's lead through a ring in his nose. ;D Title: Re: Where were Finn and I, Cup Final day 2018?

Title: Re: Where were Finn and I, Cup Final day 2018? Post by: JayMac on May 19, 2018, 22:24:45 Chippenham? Correct! That's the second one. Chippenham was where Finn met Paddington Bear.

Melksham?! :) Title: Re: Where were Finn and I, Cup Final day 2018? Post by: grahame on May 20, 2018, 12:31:32 Quote Now where else in Wiltshire would one take a novice doggie trainspotter? Melksham?! :)Personally I would take a novice train spotting dog to Westbury, as it's the crossroads / hub of rail networks in Wiltshire and there are lots of trains to see and lots of changing passengers to make friends with. There's also (at least at the moment) some patches of grass near the ungated station entrance to do drain-a-dog. Mind you, more and more there are people around at Melksham to make friends with ...

Apparently it has the right mix of stopping trains and non-stop expresses to get the dogs acclimatised to the railway environment.
