So, I really enjoyed everything about this sit. Steven is great to deal with. He's a straight talker which is really appreciated and ideal for arranging a sit and knowing what is required. He is also a very nice person. I had never even heard of Frome before going there so I had no idea what to expect. I loved it. Not only is it a picturesque and well kept market town but the atmosphere is so warm and friendly there. There are lots of sustainable businesses, zero waste stores and seems to populated by kind people who care about each other and the environment. That's my kind of place. And then there's Alfie. If you love dogs and you love walking (or in my case running), Alfie is for you. He's a super fella. Very well behaved and pretty chilled at home and loves to play ball but he is polite enough for you to initiate the game. He is Steven's daughter's dog and she and Alfie have a really nice relationship. She has done a great job bringing Alfie up. And of course, being a spaniel, he loves to go outside. I went for super runs with Alfie. He can easily do 10km to 15km. There is a very nice wood nearby with a river flowing through. This is Alfie's play ground. I usually took him on the lead as far as the woods and then let him off. It's also a good idea to get him back on the lead just before you leave the woods and come to open fields. There is absolutely no issues getting him back on the lead as long as it is done there. I would absolutely recommend this sit for all the reasons I mentioned.....and especially for people who are active (walkers or runners). P.S. Steven gave me some good swimming tips and generously gave me a copy of one of his swimming books which has been really useful. Thanks!
