Thought I'd reply, in much the same vein.
A great day was had, despite all the rain.
Old and new friends, we met with such pride,
And many a tear, we just couldn't hide.
The stories they came, so thick and so fast,
But at the end of it all, comes a love that will last.
There were cream ones' and dark ones', and all in between,
A happier crowd anywhere, will not have been seen.
And so on this note, I will linger no longer,
Our feelings for Jan, just couldn't be stronger,
Dear lady she is, a champion of Goldens',
She cares for them all, both young uns' and old uns',
All her helpers were lovely, a fine band of folk,
With a smile and a natter, and many a stroke,
God Bless you all, and long may it last,
Cos remember dear friends, a Goldie in need, is not to be passed.
And so to next year, we look forward with glee,
Our Grumpy, our Willow, our Woody, and me.

P.S. The bacon butties were to die for
Lynn and me could form a team, to compose togeather would be a dream. Goldies are what we both adore, so maybe next year well do some more.
. Honey certainly enjoyed her day, possibly something to do with liver cake, lots of playmates and sooooo many people around for strokes and fuss!
Thanks again to Jan and everyone who helped to give us such a great day; it was very much appreciated by those of two and four legs. I hope it raised lots to bring a brighter future to more beautiful goldens.
