This morning‘s walk with #SophieFromRomania had everything – a film crew setting up, kids going to school, the bin lorry, the excitement of another dog to bark at furiously. And throughout there was my bad back which meant I had to stop every few yards. All in all I think she coped pretty well.

#sophiefromromania returned from her walk invigorated by hunting through the leaves and especially by her furious bark off with the two golden retrievers behind their front gate. The owner and I apologised to each other profusely but it wasn’t our fault!

Brussels should invest in the places time forgot or brace for irrelevance.
