She had a parcel fom America. She'd tried to deliver it while we were away and had only just now remembered that she had put it for safe keeping in the back of her little yellow Peugeot van . Many, many thank for such a personal, beautiful and heartfelt thought. It has pride of place alongside a much loved and admired 'good dog ' box.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7828307270320034323.post-2888619451494222992012-07-14T07:03:07.497+02:002012-07-14T07:03:07.497+02:00Hee hee!
