I’m very happy and a bit relieved – I always like to get all of the WDC adoption stars accounted for as soon as I can as the season gets under way so that I can give all you lovely supporters the news and stories as quickly as I possibly can. You can see Rainbows son or daughter having a look at me yesterday with Mum furthest from the camera – it was a grey, windy and choppy day but I was thrilled none the less…

I hope to bring you more regular stories about what your adoption dolphin is getting up to now that the main dolphin “season” is under way.

Best Wishes,

Charlie.
