I would love to make you some bunting - I replied to you on Flickr all that time ago once or twice, now I am wondering if that message is still travelling around the ether looking for its home!! I originally asked where you lived so I could make some for your own home territory - would Cornwall or something similar be ok? It might be a few weeks (having waited some years already....oh dear!) but I will do it. Perhaps you could send me your address when free.<br /> <br />Sorry for down in the dumpness - I am sure that many, many of us can identify with that - I wish you sunshine round the corner and merriment at each turn<br />Best wishes<br />JennyThe Custardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632655608950737315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-57757990274200130262012-06-25T21:45:22.759+01:002012-06-25T21:45:22.759+01:00Yep I'm around all week so whenever's best...Yep I'm around all week so whenever's best for you hun ;o) xxxxjakihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07835178047826118892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-5326624226735329342012-06-25T20:25:27.536+01:002012-06-25T20:25:27.536+01:00Hi Jak, you're right it must be the weather.

So it gets a little difficult at times to balance my life with the needs of five pets, but like you I cannot turn away an animal that needs a home. There is plenty of reward for me but I wish it wasn't always assumed that I would be the one to hold the full-time job all the time.

Our old dog is soooo laid back he's horizontal, the kittens run all over him and he can't be bothered to even move, 5 minutes after he'll look up as if to say 'what was that?'!!<br /> I like having multiples of animals, I always think they've got a buddy that can speak their language then! xxprettyshabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205800259170816278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6141256657077347979.post-75529776800391974042012-06-22T13:03:44.433+01:002012-06-22T13:03:44.433+01:00Ive often wondered how your pets get on with each ...Ive often wondered how your pets get on with each other, I sometimes think of getting a friend for Milly.
