THE DOG POUND

Just in case anybody was wondering why "THE DOG POUND", here are our boys Buzley and Woodstock. Woodstock (posh name "Choc au Lait Huntsman" commonly known in these parts as Woody) joined the family 18 months ago and enjoys roaming the fields of Nottinghamshire normaly without the consent of his owner (yes that would be me!). Buzley (not got a posh name - ah!) joined the family 12 months later. Buzz (you must have known that was coming!) is the life and soul of the party and loves to bring home large rocks and wandering big brothers. Over the past five months they have become a real team and adventure seekers and have been christened by the village "The Pet Detectives". They are pictured here on their first assignment in Farmer George's top field and Buzley is also pictured with Kate after a secret mission looking for the lost tennis ball. Keep a look out for future adventures of "The Pet Detectives".

Nicola

I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank my good friend, Nicola, pictured above with hubby Chris for all her time and hard work in helping me create my new website - www.elephantcountryweddings.co.uk. It hasn't all been plain sailing but like my old Land Rover, Ellie (more on her later), we got there in the end.

Gayle & Shez

A few years ago, a good friend of mine asked me to take pictures at her wedding. Against my better judgement I agreed and took the pictures - the wedding went well and, as they say, the rest is history - elephantcountry was born .

Gayle (pictured on the left with her sister Shez) also with her husband Kevin are still good friends as are all the couples Kate and I have had the pleasure to meet on our photographic encounters. That's one of the things I love about this job the most, meeting new friends with the knowledge that they will become old ones. So, welcome to a new era in the country of the elephant and I hope to hear from you very soon.
