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

    Hi Gilly, so glad the pups are both back in good health. Your choccy bread looks scrumptious...obviously I need some breakfast, they would be ideal! Paris sounds like fun.
