@Sam_Oscar_March Is it a specific breed? If so, breed specific rescue may be a good shout?

Dog lovers I have a “dangerous” dog case. Unsuitable keeper. Needs re-homing condition, but may need expensive vet treatment. London Anyone know any sanctuaries / rescues / individuals who might be open to chat about helping? Ideal would be a rescue with an in house vet.

@simongrant1 I hope you have a wonderful day! It’s such a lovely experience!

Such an amazing day having my wig and gown fitted today! Lovely to be able to share today with my family who have supported me throughout my journey to the Bar!

@Ellie__McManus I think we were the appointment before you! Hope you had a lovely time!

A lovely weekend in London to visit Ede & Ravenscroft to purchase my wig and gown - a great experience, and a day to remember! 🛍️

@RedHeadedAli It’s been great so far! Everyone has been really friendly and supportive and I am really looking forward to the year ahead ☺️

@Sarah_Riley1202 How was it? I've just seen you're PI/CN - that's my area too :-)

The night before pupillage… Bag is packed, suit is ready, laptop is charged, shoes are polished! Cannot wait for my first day tomorrow 😬

@Tigertykelawyer Great advice thank you, I have lots of snacks!

@Sarah_Riley1202 Good luck! Remember that no matter how brilliant everyone seems, we were all at pupils once and one day you’ll be able to look back too. Enjoy, learn, take snacks and water and be part of the best job in the world.

@RedHeadedAli Thank you Ali, great advice - I have lots of snacks!

@Sarah_Riley1202 All the very best. The only advice I can give having seen lots of barristers is .... take snacks. And water. Now go be brilliant.
