So glad you had a good time PL! It's great that you keep in touch with your foster dogs - did you live near Battersea in the past? That Jasper is a little heartwarmer. Thanks for sharing your photos.

It was a great day Angie, I saw so many dogs I remembered and it's been over 12 months since we left. I spent most of the day feeling a bit tearful to be honest, so nice to see them in their new homes.
I lived in Sutton which is nearer Croydon when I worked at Battersea though, couldn't afford to live any closer!

What super pics! It really looks like there was a fabulous, carnival feel to the event. I love Battersea Park; takes me back to the days when I was studying in London - it was one of our favourite parks :D

I lived in East Croydon for a short while PL - and did enjoy being only 20 mins on the train away from the centre of London. Mind you, that was in the 70's and things were a bit different then. Never forget going to the RAH for the proms - just magic.
