    I only know its autumn as the younger daughter has changed into the onesie she lives in for the autumn winter months . It’s a bright blue onesie and she looks like a tall mutant smurf. I was desperate to send in her picture but she threatened to move back home permanently if I did so couldn’t take the chance . Bought as a joke for her a couple of years ago and I guess the joke is firmly on me as she lives in it the minute she gets home in the evenings lol

    I was fortunate enough to be driving through new hampshire towards maine a couple of years ago. Any bit of a hill on the highway gave you views of endless dappled forests. Genuinely amazing stuff. If you ever get the chance….

    That little pug is so cute. Glad he wasn’t starred in love hate. There would have been a public out-cry. … Oh wait …
