Thank you to everyone for all your name suggestions and you’ll be glad to hear our little dog douglas is a lot perkier… the anti-biotics seem to have kicked in… we just have to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn’t cough them back up half an hour later!
It was extremely difficult [...]

Paul had organised to take the day [...]
