A few hours ago, I completed my twenty-fifth cycle of the Sun. A quarter of a century since I entered the world. Halfway to fifty. Pretty soon I’ll be ‘late twenties’. How does time go by so fast?

Slightly less than four years ago, for my 21st birthday I visited Rome for the first time. It was one of my first European city visits, and helped sparked the wanderlust that has stayed with me ever since.

One of the best things we learned at Charlie’s Progress Training classes last year was how to get him interested in scentwork. Nothing else short of a ten-mile hike tires him out quite like a good session of mental training.
