A Husky Adventure

Well, this experience exceeded my expectations - it was great!!

Weather was perfect - nice and sunny again - very cold, but we were told that the huskies love it when it is cold and they just love to run... but first.. we had to be kitted out in super warm clothing from boots, thick woollen socks, full overalls and mittens as well as our usual scarves, beanies etc. So, being a short round, overalls are always too long in the body and legs and are quite awkward to walk in.
