In September we went away for our annual holidays and while we were away we were advised by our dog sitter that Vinnie our 11 year old border collie passed away (suddenly 09/09/09). For those of you who have visited Old Mill House and played with Vinnie you will remember him as the very energetic dog that would have you endlessly throwing a stick, ball or log of wood for him to chase and retrieve.   No-one could believe that he was 11years old.
I hold fond memories of all you folk who would go out back and play stick with him, thank you all so much.
