I work a lot, I write a bit and I read a lot. I live in Surrey, UK with my hubby. Life is good.
Thinking of my beloved Nana Betty, who passed away 2 years ago. She would have loved the VE Celebrations this weekend. This is the picture of her, aged 21 in 1946 - she gave it to her fiancé Jim before he went off to fight in the war. Sadly I never met my Granddad but I miss my Nana so very much ❤️

Lovely afternoon, evening, night spent at the neighbours (Friendbours? Neighfriends?) Lucky enough with the weather that we could sit in the garden from 1pm to 11.30pm but it got a bit chilly towards the end, despite the lovely firepit!

One whole year has passed since I've seen this beautiful little face. I still miss you every single day, my precious Little Darcy. 💔💔

Thank you, Amanda. It's been a very tough year. Here they are - Wilson on the left and Little Darcy on the right. We lost Darcy last January and Wilson just 21 weeks later 💔

Set myself the challenge of reading 50 books this year. 20th Jan and I'm getting stuck into book 8. So far so good! 📚

All last week, I was feeding my neighbour's cat, Indie. On Christmas Day, we walked and then took in our other neighbour's dog, Poppy for a few hours. And yesterday we walked our other neighbour's dog, Elsie. I love being an auntie to my neighbour's pets but I miss my own two doggos so, so much. 😞 💔

We've lost both of our beautiful fur babies this year - Darcy (on the left) in January and Wilson in June, just 21 weeks later. My heart is still broken 💔

We lost our beautiful boy Wilson yesterday. He was 13 and a half and it was his time but we're just shattered. I'm going to miss him so, so much. Goodbye Wilson, you beautiful, precious soul. Thank you for choosing us to spend your life with. We will love you forever 💔💔💔

Honestly, Wilson just woke up this handsome. That pout is 100% natural 💋

I have two of the beasts! Both insatiable but instantly forgivable.

My Wilson is almost 13, he has bad arthritis in his back legs, he's completely deaf, he has cataracts and doggie dementia. But when he sleeps, I still see him as my little puppy. ♥️

My most recent photo of the
Doggos. They both look like I've interrupted them doing something they shouldn't.
