Having dropped off Fudge and Angel in Germany, Animalcouriers headed via Denmark to Sweden to collect Swedish Vallhund Alice.
Her grandpa drove her over 1,000 km from Sweden’s skiing region to meet us in Malmo, where it was strangely quiet after the Eurovision song contest the night before. Alice is on her way to join the rest of her family who’ve moved to Watford. We know some little girls are waiting impatiently for this most important member of the family to arrive!
Banana and avocado parfait — strange but true, this dessert was served with kiwi, strawberries and grapes at a hotel in Germany run by students who’re learning all about the hotel and restaurant trade
The Rodby ferry takes about an hour and links Germany to Denmark
The bridge, made famous by the eponymous TV series, that stretches across the sea from Denmark to Sweden. Even in thick fog with a limited view, it was still amazing
Darling Alice
Where we went to play
Hopefully Alice understood the rules — courier S’s Swedish is somewhat limited!
Alice shows her best profile — she’s a fine example of the Swedish Vallhund breed

Very jolly bathroom tiles

Interesting breed I’ve never seen before.

Very interesting and her owner gave us this further info: “Alice is a Swedish Vallhund or as they are called in swedish. “Västgötaspets” an old viking breed used for looking after the house and the cattle. they are related to Welsh Corgis and very rare, even in Sweden. there is however atleast one breeder in UK/Ireland. They are the most wonderful family dogs.”
We hope to encounter more, they are really lovely if Alice is anything to go by.

Ahhh… last night I was trying to think of the breed she reminded me of. Brain fog prevented the connection to Corgis even though I have two as neighbors (and had four next to me at the previous house!) Now that you mention it, I can certainly see the resemblance.
