Lovely as always Kate! When I see your email in my inbox, I stop, take a break from whatever I am doing, take a big breath and leisurely read what you have posted. Always an oasis of good feelings... Thank you! .

Arleen I’m so glad my words find their way to you on the otherside of the world and that you enjoy reading. I am missing all the Sadler/ snowball family so much. Any snow yet? Kate x

No... just a LOT of rain! Enjoy your sunshine. We do get some and it is greatly appreciated when we do. Sitting by the fire with a good book season. Arleen x

Lovely story, you reminded me of the poddy lamb we raised when the kids were small, he even came on Christmas holidays with us - a joy and out sized impact beyond the short time raising him!
