10. Monty with Harry the dog (Image 10 of 13)

Rich: You just mentioned your scamp of a dog – how is Harry?

Monty: Harry's alright! He’s a bit discombobulated by the arrival of Arthur, our baby son. But he's pretty good with Arthur actually. When the baby screams it can make Harry a bit nervous, but apart from that he's OK! He's in Tuscany at the moment and didn't come in the car with us to France because when you drive from Tuscany to Southern France it's a twisty, winding route that goes through lots of tunnels, and for some reason Harry doesn't cope very well with tunnels! Actually he's not a big fan of tunnels, bicycles, balls, kids, birds, caravans, motorcycles, shopping trolleys...

I actually wanted to take him but in the end we decided on the sensible option so he's living it up in Italy. He's quite the character - Sylvana wasn't there when I was in France last year and he really kept me going. He's tons of fun. He's a bit mad but will always make me laugh without fail. He just loves roaming around the vineyard and hunting boar, deer, badgers, foxes, stoats and rabbits! Dogs like him, with pretty much unlimited energy, need lots of space and he certainly had that.
