Seriously impressed by your ongoing home / lottie grown produce! 👏😊
I’ve seen you mention Hairy MaClary a couple of times now - who or what is this? Another Hound ….? (You have such a wonderful way with words for these, I am thinking you should be writing children’s books 😊).

He's my dad's dog and he just looks like hairy maclary. My youngest loved those books.
