Dog(s) of the Week: Bacardi and Flora

Jamie came to visit us from that London place this weekend. Many and varied japes were had, including a visit to the Bath Cat and Dogs Home this morning to walk a sweet-natured lurcher called Flora and a young German Shepherd who rejoiced in the world’s chavviest name, Bacardi. Here is young Mr Malcolm displaying his dog mastery.

We also went out to Lacock; it’s only half an hour’s drive west of Bath, and it’s utterly entrancing. We’d been to the village before – where at the moment filming for Cranford is taking place – but never to the abbey. If the cloisters below look familiar somehow, it’s because it’s where many scenes for the Harry Potter franchise are shot. Lovely place, and if you’re local and haven’t yet been, floor tiger judges you.

This being the internet, I’m assuming that some folks will want to tell me that what he does is in no way remarkable. You, you poor, joyless and bitter person, may have a point, and there’s no doubting the music and ’tude on display here is a bit knob, but damn that boy can do things that appear to defy physics.
