god ding, i can’t get near one, beautiful!
dinghysailor1 replied
then peebles is the place for you dougie!... there are a pair always working the tweed.. they space out to fish separately and you don’t see them together but they are really used to dogs and people on the riverbank.. buster (my lab) just sat and waited while I took this (and plenty more..)
