Posted on April 9, 2015 by Gary

Emma almost met her first cow today. And would you believe it? She barked at her. To be fair, the cow was quite a distance away and Emma may have thought it was a big dog. Also, I had Emma … Continue reading →

Miserable Emma

Mirinda worked from home today. She really loves the new space and is taking full advantage of it. She also had the pleasure of chatting with Builder Dave when he turned up (I was up the shops). I’m not 100% … Continue reading →
