Yes I so agree. My best girl of all time has been gone for many years now. But I’ve got so much joy from the others over the years. Each was special in some way.

So sorry he’s in his twilight days. We lost our old collie at Christmas and he will be forever missed. But our younger collie and our sheltie give us so much joy - plus hopefully another pup will join us sometime this year. You never forget the ones that have gone. Best wishes.

And a good read to the end! Rattled through it at a rate of knots.

A good read so far.

Yes I heard that. Always try and listen to your podcast for reading ideas.

Just finished this today. Enjoyed it, a long time since I’ve read anything along these lines so it was a refreshing change.

Looks lovely. I shall definitely pop in if I’m in Bath.

Your beautiful view inspired me to walk towards Prior Park today with my granddaughter in her pushchair, but I didn’t make it, further than I thought! I’ll try getting there by bus next week.

I was thinking of signing up but that’s convinced me!

And I’ve signed up!

Oh that is so very tempting!!!

Only two months in but really enjoying it. Two books I wouldn’t have picked myself but both were great. Especially liked The Favourites - about ice skating - set me up for the Winter Olympics!

Yes it would! Maybe when spring really arrives we could meet up for one!

I hope the peregrines breed successfully this year.

About to start this one, just received from Bert’s.

Arrived (from Bert’s of course) yesterday so I’ve already started it! Also please let us know what Two Robert’s is like as I’m dithering over whether to buy or not - so many interesting books coming out now!!

Exciting! Arrived here today from the wonderful @bertsbooks.bsky.social

My six year old granddaughter plays with them whenever she’s here. They are her favourite thing!

Thanks @bemorebob.bsky.social I’m going to love these treats!

I did. They are one of my favourite birds. I see a few around here (North Somerset) but not that often. Beautiful colours. I do admire your photos, real skill.
