Hi Sara OH I'm so pleased to hear that all is going well and you are bonding well with nuggott. I'm glad you are enjoying it although its intense some times a challenge can be exciting and it will be lovely when you qualify I'm sure. I always thought its better to learn routes where you live I had a guide dog years ago which wasn't really for me in the end I guess it isn't for every-one but in those days I stayed at the centre in Leamington and I didn't really see the point in having to learn routes I would never use again once I got home so its much better the way it is now. You're always in our thoughts and prayers. Take care. Love Sarah xxxxxxxxx
