What happened in the meantime ...

It's 6 years since we last posted !

We have

(1) Adorable Doggie no. 2 Creamy who has become the irritating younger adopted brother to Koko.

Creamy was a name bestowed by the breeder in Australia. We could have changed to it something more than a mere colour description ... but it grew on us. Creamy continues to fascinate us in how he is so different from Koko in having a quiet temperament, picky eating habits and aversion to strangers. We mollycoddle this new member of the family who joined us in December 2015.

(2) A job came and went

Good and bad parts, too boring to cover here 

(3) We said goodbye to a dear family member

(no words) 

(4) We became good buddies with our lovely neighbours who are a great support network when we need it.

(5) Mr Bear gallivants and Facebooks the world in his food equipment related consultancy job, even more than I do ! We have suitcases galore of every capacity and colour.
