Posted on June 22, 2017 by Sue Vincent

Both me and the dog are back home once again, melting in the heat. Ani appears to have been having a fair bit of fun… she has evidently been helping with a bit of house-painting; the black and white animal … Continue reading →

A walk on the wild side…

Posted on June 10, 2017 by Sue Vincent

We could see the back of our destination from the graveyard. To be fair, we’d had no intention of visiting a graveyard…not this time at least. We had sort of hoped the local church was attached to it, but no … Continue reading →
