Calzeat Causa a Commotion at Flatcharm (IMP) CC & BOB @ Bournemouth

Congratulations to my travelling buddies Kelly and Denver who yesterday at Bournemouth Show took their Second CC and after going Best of breed made their debut in the Group ring at show. Congrats to both they looked a picture in the big ring !!
My very own Little Clemence who after emptying the contents of Kelly's bag all over the bench (several times) won a good strong Limit class but lost her usual Clemmie sparkle for the challenge.
A good but very long and tiring day !!
