Good morning, don't know what the weather is doing, but it's certainly not as cold. Derek, I'm so sorry about Scooby. What a heartbreaking decision you've had to make, but it was the right decision.

It's here on Old Style to provide the support we all need and to make the whole task easier and quicker. We also…

Good morning, it's another wet day here. No particular plans for today, we have dg d and the dog staying over, so dog walking will be to do. I'll take him out soon for a short walk then he can go out again when it's light for a proper walk. I'll pop back later to see what everyone is up to.
