Sick continued

Posted on March 29, 2015 by Gary

New York for the squirrels

Posted on March 24, 2015 by Gary

This morning, walking back from the shops, I watched as a woman tried, in vain, to get her retriever to come back. “Sophie!” She yelled, “Sophie, come here!” Clearly, Sophie was more interested in chasing the squirrels as they darted … Continue reading →
