4th July 2020

When last year the last puppy left for his new home, the reunion seemed sooo far...

The first date set for the reunion coorresponded to their first birthday. Everybody was excited about the second may weekend when we meet at Helfstyn castle. Becouse of the corona mess the reunioin could only take place the first summer holiday weekend. One would say it was supposed to be this way as everything worked for our good.

Saturday morning 4th July was sunny with an azure sky although few days before it had rained intensively. All the puppies met at their homeland except for jessica (Flo) whose owners did not want to leave Austria for the corona restrictions which I understand. After familiarization and huge dog's games in the garden we headed for a little trip. For my whippet family I prepared a pleasant walk to Hradek chalet 650 m altitude and 4,8 km far from my house. Hiking in humid conditions and quite high temps was a bit complicated for some but everybody survived and reached the chatel bar where we quenched our thirst with beer and softs. We occupied all spots in shadow and ordered our meal.

Our whippet party was a great attraction for other tourists. We were 13 adults in ninmer, 6 children and 11 whippets. After one hour meal break we decided to continue farther above the chalet where is an old quarry vista with a wonderful view of the village Hradek. We moved on to Filipka Hill where is situated the St. Isidore of Madrid Bell Tower. St. Isidore is a potron of married couples, chiůdren and farmers. The Bell Tower was built in 2012 and consecrated by bishop František Václav Lobkowic and many newlyweds choose it as their vow spot. There are two bells in the Bell Tower. The bigger bell rings every hour and the smaller one that is placed in a patron bust will fulfiil your wish if you ring it because St. Isidor's life is full of miracles and healing. There is a note for every visitor carved into the stone.  "If you ring once you will live happily ever after." The amazing impression of that place is emphasized by a beatiful view and we decided to take a group picture there.

In the beginning I planned to continue to the Filipka chalet but because of the heat I decided to return but we chose a different itinerary. We also stopped at our chalet in Hradek which was occupied by Lyra's (Liza) owners who decided to stay longer and discover beauty of our region. The seemed to enjoy it and according to their words it was not the last visit.

On the way back home we walked swiftly and we already saw ourselves relax. On our patio everybody took place and we evaluated our day. All that accompanied by tirerless whippets running around but finally tham also lied down. After all thesemarry chats two families realized that they had already met in the past at a common wedding. The world is really small. In the afternoon people started to leave for their homes as everybody had their obligations and I stayed there with my thoughts and the good feeling that the event was successful and might become a tradition.
