  • Thanks for your lovely messages. We are feeling a bit :j today.

    We may have had a siesta - can't have Gally being the only one to nap in the afternoon :rotfl::rotfl:

    Off to phone mum now and then we are off to visit her tomorrow. I think she may come home with us for a few days.

    Best wishes Tilly x x
