In late April, we met for a fantastic walk amidst beautiful meadows and vineyards, enjoying brillant sunshine and pleasantly warm temperatures. We took a break halfway through to enjoy delicious coffee, cake, and cold drinks, with water provided for the dogs, which also had the chance to cool off in a nearby stream. Afterward, we stopped at a restaurant to round off the day in a relaxed atmosphere. A big thank you to Bärbel & Jens for this wonderful day!

Thank you for the beautiful photos to Heike, Cindy, Jens and Bernd.
At the end of November, after the general meeting, this time in the Eastern Swabian Alps, we went for a short walk with those who were still there. This gave the dogs a chance to run around and play before we headed home. Unfortunately, there are only a few handy photos.
At the beginning of October, we met near Starnberg (Upper Bavaria) for a lovely walk along many meadows that invited our four-legged friends to play. Afterwards, we stopped at the Andechs Benedictine monastery and were able to sample the wide variety of delicious food and drinks. A big thank you to Claudia & Richard Gebhard for this wonderful day!
At the beginning of September, we met for Collie Week in the Netherlands. Because it took place right after the show, unfortunately not many people had time to come along, but that didn't make it any less enjoyable.
Day 1 - Arrival
A short stop on the way near Wemeldinge, where the South Beveland Canal (Zuid Beveland Kanaal) flows into the Oosterschelde. From the 't'Schip observation tower, whose platform is modeled after the bridge of a barge, there was a fantastic view. Then we continued along the town toward the northern part of Zeeland.

Day 4
Today we took a trip to Westkapelle, the westernmost tip of Zeeland and thus at the mouth of the Westerschelde, the beginning of the long approach to the port of Antwerp. The invasion monument and memorial, along with else here, commemorate the Allied invasion from the sea on November 1, 1944. The brackish inland lake in the hinterland is a witness to the flooding of the town a month before the invasion, after the dam was destroyed by Allied bombers. Today, the town is a popular tourist destination. We stopped her for a drink and enjoyed a meal under a roof of vines.

In the evening, we rounded off the day relaxing with some delicious grilled food.

Day 7
On this final day, we went past the seals again and headed to the North Sea beach, followed by a stop at a restaurant. We rounded off the Collie Week with a walk along one of the beautiful bays on the Veerse Meer in the late afternoon. It was wonderful week!
