A snowy drive…
To get straw. Across to Pen y Bont to get a bale (large obvs) for the Donks. We got 20 bales (small obvs) the week before Christmas, but the Donks have been less than enthusiastic for it. The answer seems […]
Thank you…
… says Joan, who has exceeded known records for the number of greetings cards received this year. Post has been appraised, senders have been guessed at, with mixed success, envelopes opened, cards appreciated, comments and words have been read and […]
