Mel~Ashley, soooo romatic. I guess you did it at the top of a mountain, so if she said no you could just push her off… Hey, here’s a romantic idea… Get marrried at SES, London. The figures for the show will improve greatly and you guys will get lots of back links… Sound romantic to you? :-))

I have been under the ice ( in many remarks) in Sweden 🙂 so was catching up on things and life and saw your message…
I am so happy for you! Best of luck and a big hug from me! Hope you had lots of champagne when you got down from the mountain!

Watched Escape to the Country today. I have been set a challange to find out what breed Mel and Ashleys dog Dodger is? Can anyone help me?
Hello – so you saw the 38th repeat did you?? 😉 The dog was a Dalmation cross breed with something else. Sadly he died a few months after the program was filmed and we now live in Seattle, USA with a baby girl called Maggie. No dog. Good sleuthing! How did you find us?
