    dumpling so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Sam :(
    I know that you must miss me,
    By the tears rolling down your face.
    But believe me when I tell you that,
    I'm in a very good place.
    There are meadows here to run in,
    And plenty of rabbits to chase.
    There are other dogs to play with,
    To frolick with and race.
    So please don't worry about me,
    My spirit feels light as can be.
    There's no more pain to plague me,
    I'm young again and free.
    And I'll be watching over you still,
    of that you can be sure.
    I'm your canine guardian angel,
    And my love for you remains pure.

    TTFTM ......Give you dd a hug from me, it is so awful losing a much loved pet

    It has been another lovely day here but has just started pouring, still it will save me watering the garden :D

    The chavs on the corner have their screaming brats still the garden though :mad:

    More washing done and dried on the line, it is such a lovely feeling keeping on top of the washing (sad I know) DD is ironing it all at the moment :A

    Made a loaf of bread, the first in ages and it has turned out really well, but I can't wait until I can do it by hand again.

    DH is going swimming after work, we have already eaten so I will just nuke his dinner when he gets in.

    DS has just left for Jujitsu class so he will be gone until 10ish

    Busy day, sounds like lots of people have had happy productive days.

    I made a loaf of bread for lunch time and a toffee and apple cake with the kids. Made a little bunch of lavender for my pillow with pretty string, did all my housework jobs. Had lovely catch up at a friends house.

    Trying not to go to bed as early tonight but it's a fight already. My babes are fast asleep and husband at work.

    Dumpling - sorry for your loss xx

    Weather has changed thunder, lightning and rain :(

    During the 'gaps' in the weather cross the road neighbors had their little ones playing on the huge trampoline in their garden, well, i say playing, it sounded like they were killing each other - oh god i,m getting old, all I could think was 'please let it rain again, I need some peace' ..... Tolerance levels need working on I think
