HOMECOMING  '09

Do you need more roils? It sounds as though you may not have any at
the moment. You must be very sad. I wonder which one of our roils we
could leave with you. Probly none. None of us would dare go home to
our hues without all of us. Hmm, we must think about this. You cant
have a perfectly trained hue without a roil.

Thank you, deer friend in Oz. Yes, after sixteen years of living with Roils, I
am almost totally on my own.  While Destiny a 'Roil Hound of Stone' guards the
home fires, and Roil Ida (100% cotton and twice lifesize), keeps me warm, there
is no life Roil or other hound/dog of my own to be spoiled rotten, to sing/howl
with, to be made a fuss of, to answer back, and so on and on.  I would be
honoured and very happy if any of you would consider staying with me even on a
temporary basis for some days, weeks, months or even years, until a new forever
Roil joins me.  Maybe any of you visiting Scotland could work out a rota
between yourself and your hues and then stay with me in relays.

Living in hope,

Waltraud (very well trained by Roils)

You get off your moonbeams when you a choir of 12 Siberian Huskies and a
pitiful hoomin (me) trying to get your attention - it definitely has got the
attention of all the hoomins living here - those Huskies are practising all day
long!  As I wrote before, all the neighbourhood dogs and hounds light up the
road to my estate with torches from dusk to dawn.  We are not too far from the
old town of Lanark, about 30 miles to Edinburgh or Glasgow.

PS:  The larder has been re-stocked with all kinds of good Scottish food and
drink, i.e. Haggis, fresh, marinated and smoked salmons and trouts by the
dozens, smoked kippers, shortbread and mince pies - for the ones with a sweet
tooth or two, fresh eggs for breakfast from the newly arrived
freerange chickens on the estate, and plenty of whisky to warm you up, or just
some strong tea with or without milk;  the Scottish/German food are venison
haunches in red wine sauce with potatoes roasted in goose fat, the German food
consists of all kinds of sausages and ham, freshly baked bread, Christmas
cookies and cakes, mulled wine and beer.  All Roils and their Companions are
welcome - the more the merrier...

Save landing

Dear Ali

I love Russians -  their art and especially their music and dances, and am sure
that you'll excell in both.  So, a BIG WELCOME to you anytime!

Dear Roils,

We can only gasp in admiration (and envy) at the feast awaiting you at the Hess
residence.

Sad to say, our Huemins cannot begin to match that, especially as there will be
so many to cater for.

OH DEER, do you think any Roils will compleate their journey to Kintyre after
banqueting on such fare????

We can only suggest that IF,(and this is unlikely) IF there is anything left
over, perhaps Miss Hess might be persuaded to pack up 'doggie bags' to take with
you.

Still hoping to see you,all soon,

George & Freyja
