Good friends, good food, healthy pups . . .

52 Weeks of Happy

Week 4:

The highlight of my week ?  Precious time spent catching up with an old friend from Cape Town days.  Nowadays, Laila lives in Vancouver, I live in England  -  it's been 12 years since we got together so it was just fab to be able to sit down and have a good old natter.  A short, but sweet visit . . . and plans to meet up again in Paris next month . . yay !

 


Linking up with Jen at Little Birdie . . .

Thanks for all your kind comments on my previous post - I'm very happy to report that our lovely Vet worked her magic and the Jerry-dog is now restored to full, bouncy health without having to have an op. Phew . . . great rejoicing all round 
; - )

And I've done lots of making this weekend too, so back tomorrow with an update on the crafty front.
'til then,
xoxo
