We\u2019re putting together a hamper for Dad. Mum says we can all put something in it to send to him for Christmas. Shadow has contributed a Bonio but I\u2019m not entirely certain he\u2019ll want to eat it. She may have had a nibble of one corner first. It\u2019s more about Mum sending him the English food stuffs that he won\u2019t find in Switzerland so easily. Things like mince pies. Dad loves mince pies. Mum said she used to think you could get those everywhere, until they lived in Belgium. They invited their neighbours for \u2018Mulled Wine and Mince Pies\u2019. That was when she found you could not easily buy either of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In my homeland they have Gluhwein, which is really like mulled wine, so we think Dad will be all right for that. They don\u2019t normally have mince pies or Christmas pudding though, so those will need to be parcelled up for him as they are his favourites. He\u2019s partial to Twiglets and Jaffa Cakes too. I\u2019m sure there are lots of other things we could send him but there is only so much room in the box. I just wish I could deliver it in person instead of having to post it \u2013 maybe I\u2019ll include a photo of me so he doesn\u2019t forget me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This whole Brexit thing really does need sorting out. It is now only a matter of a month to the end of the year and as yet there is no decision about what category the UK will fall into for pet entry requirements. It is not an immediate problem for me, Mum made sure I\u2019m covered for most eventualities, but we would like to help people to import puppies of our breed and we just don\u2019t know how possible it will be. Sometimes humans can be very disorganised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
