Thank you to the  committee for inviting me to judge deerhounds at such a prestiguous show Such a  shame that we had to go indoors when we were almost finished because of the  heavy rain. 
                 Also thanks to my  steward who did a wonderful job which is made more difficult than normal  because of all the trophies.
