Horribly right-on feminist, part of the vanguard of female bass players who will (hopefully soon) take over the world. Crazy cat - and dog - lady often found up a mountain or with my head in a bassbin somewhere
My mate had a irish wolfhound dog, which farted so badly that their dad evacuated the house cuz it set off the smoke alarm. Took them a minute to realise there was no fire.

And my mum's music. And my dad's (they're gone no longer with us but I digitised their collections during lockdown, and put it on my laptop). And my entire collection since the eighties, all my own bands, demos, radio sessions...
The guy in the shop handed me a small piece of circuit board....

That's it - I remember going to the post office in the seventies with mum and our dog and a pocket full of coins, to get the dog licence. It was a Big Day.

I actually have one of these, hanging at the top of the stairs, the warmest place in the house. Laundry dries overnight on it. My mum called it the kitchen maid, I didn't know it was a creel thank you

A few miles down that road there's one last patch of ancient forest clinging to the hillside, which is so steep that it saved the trees from being cut down - one of the last remaining bits of primeval woodland in the UK - mostly oak with some ash, beech and hazel.

An interesting article that raises some good points. Something that isn't mentioned, is that surely it's better to adopt a dog - a pre-existing, unwanted dog - rather than buy a dog from a breeder, who is effectively forcing some poor dog to give birth to a whole new litter of carnivores for profit.
