Go on, ask me.

What do you want for Christmas this year Julia?

I thought you'd never ask.

I should like a litter of Lorraine Corrigan

dogs please.

I must just make one thing clear.

A Lorraine Corrigan is not a new breed of

living, breathing hound yet to be trotted round the

show ring at Crufts, but a hound none the less.

LC's, as I shall now refer to them, not Elsie's Alice dear,

are quite simply this year's must have stocking filler.

And you should see the size of my stockings -

they're honorary grain sacks.

Sweet little Lorraine (sorry, I went a bit Country

& Western on you there) creates sighthound figuerines

from nothing more than wire and old book pages

which somehow come alive under her magic touch.

I want one, I want one, I want three

or I shall scream until I am sick!

LC trades under the name of Hounds of Bath and

her love of running dogs shines through in her beautiful

creations.  I can't believe that they only take about

twelve hours apiece to complete.

Sod this, I can't wait until the festive season.

Christmas may come early for this impatient

Long Dog woman.  Let's click on the link and do

something about it:

A Lorraine Corrigan is for life not just for Christmas!
