Mr or Mrs?
Tiggywinkle that is. Don’t intend to examine to find out! Just sat there musing about the day, and it walked past! Snuffling, completely oblivious to us or anything else. Unbelievable, haven’t seen one in years.
The Royal Welsh
Show that is. It starts today (24th) but the build up has been going on for days now. It is the biggest (reputedly) in he UK and possible Europe. Strange thing is the number of caravans being towed by white […]
