... where I'm spending tonight and tomorrow night... and where scenes from Bridget Jones and other movies including Bond movies were filmed! It's right by our offices. My room has a stunning view of the golf course outside, and my room isn't numbered... it's named... "Stuart" (I walked past "William and Mary" and lots of other English names on the way).
Not bad at all!!

Plus, got another update on Halle... I nearly fell off my chair when I read his nonchalant sentence of "will be done with walking today and then she won't pull anymore." Amazing!!! And "Ghetto Booty"??! HA! Here's the full email:
Ya know, I'm usually a man of my word, but almost every time this week we've been running and I've brought the camera in the truck, I just always leave it behind. I'll be SURE to get some pics tomorrow morning.
It's threatening rain, but most of the dogs need a break from running. Halle's eyebrows are lacking some hair because she's been so busy hunting cover with us! Dempsey (our Chessie) flushed a woodcock yesterday right in front of Halle, and that was it. She hunted for three hours non-stop (aside from taking repeated dunks in all the brooks and deep puddles from the rain). She gets along with everyone except for Hudson, a German Wirehair puppy that tend to hound-dog her to play. She doesn't really tell him off at all, she's just not into it - no big thing - she's telling him with her body language that she doesn't want to play instead of her voice or showing teeth.
We'll be finishing up her leash work today so that she does not pull any longer, so that will be a done deal. Other than that, it'll be boring but I will send a few pics of her doing her thing around here. She and Dempsey are keeping me company with yard work and kennel chores so far today - they just mill around and check out my work.
I am very impressed with her ground speed, intent to please, relaxed attitude, and her non-stop work ethic while in the woods. She's a blast to have around and just a pleasure in the house as well. Kudos to you on a great job raising her!
You'll hear from me at some point later today with at least a few pictures of the new and improved "ripped up" Halle! (She's getting what we call Ghetto Booty because of the muscle gain from her runs).
