It has been a long time\u00a0since Lily and Poppy have been doing agility training with Jaqui in the field near Longside.\u00a0 Winter weather, wind and slippery ground are not the conditions for outdoor agility.\u00a0\u00a0 I wondered how they would get on after the long break from the autumn.<\/p>\n

I needn’t have worried.\u00a0\u00a0 They got back into it right away, with gusto!\u00a0 Lily showed young Poppy how to do it, at Lily’s unique sedate pace.\u00a0\u00a0 Poppy\u00a0threw herself into it, leaping high over the jumps and scampering\u00a0up the A fame.<\/p>\n

The seesaw,\u00a0which spooked her a bit last year seemed no trouble at all and it was a joy to see her little body zooming through the material of the cloth tunnel and emerging, delighted with herself.\u00a0\u00a0 Lily even managed the twelve pole weave, never her favourite piece of equipment.<\/p>\n

The seesaw holds no fear for Poppy now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All this in the lovely setting of the little field just outside the village.\u00a0\u00a0 We are all looking forward to next week.<\/p>\n
