Two weeks ago I walked in to a lamp post. I was just minding my own business, looking up across the green to the top of the hill to see if I could see which was our house, and it … Continue reading
Finding Floof Mc Floofy
On Saturday Mr R went running early and I decided I might as well get up at 6am and take Percy out to get started on the day. But when I looked out the front window, Mr R was still … Continue reading
