Celebrating Pip On Her Birthday

All is not chaos and despair, although it would seem that way if you read the papers.

And the vast majority of the kids in the UK are not dressed in hoodies and smashing store windows.

One in particular lives on a farm in Northern Ireland, where she wields her camera expertly, and documents the lives of the dogs and sheep as they grow up together.

Today, is Pip's first birthday, and if there is a prettier border collie anywhere on that side of Atlantic, OS would be surprised.

The intrepid blogger gives us a summary of her first year. Enjoy.
