Hi Mary,
I hope all is ok with you there, our weather here in the uk, well its been raining on and off since last weekend, yesterday was ok, but today it started to rain on and off around 11am here, we were going to take patch, our 2 yr old springer spaniel dog to the dog park today, but as its wet here today, decided against it!!, stewart is off work this week, using up some of hes holiday from the past year, hes holiday starts April 1st untill 31st March next year, hes going to take a few days off from the 26th of this month to just use up the last of hes holidays this year, we are going to wales may 19th for a weeks holiday, my dad lives close to where we are going, we have hired out a lodge , we like to go to this lodge park as its so safe for patch, they got a lake there, nice walks, they got 3 lodges there, but only one accepts dogs, so if you want to get in one with a dog you have to book up early, we booked mid january and that was the only date we could get that lodge that accepts dogs, plus it has a hot tub too, its lovely there, so scenic , and peaceful too, i go to the foot consultant friday , doubt if he can do anymore for my foot, had this problem 2 yrs nearly, ive had insoles made, but they hurt my foot worse, the only footwear i can wear are sketchers at the moment, we had a few quacker shows here monday, but i didnt buy anything, got too many expenses this month, its our mothers day here on the 26th, plus ive got 2 birthdays this month, patrick showed those pedal pushers that you had there on the t.s.v a few weeks ago too, i like those, will probably get them next month now, i tend to buy tops from quacker factory when they go down in price a bit, i noticed a lot of the clothes in quacker have increased in price too, the postage rates here are high too, i did buy some jeans back in janurary that were reduced, i also got some cudle duds trousers, which i find comfy too, but i tend to live in my quacker dream jeans and tops!!, hope you are ok there, we had snow a bit this winter but not that much to be honest, my dad gets snow where he lives too, they got mountains in wales and they often get snow on them, spring is well on its way, i have snowdrops out in my front garden now and the tulips are beginning to bud too, i cannot have much in the back garden as patch just snaps off the flower heads! ive got some roses in the back garden and i have made a memorial garden for my old dog charlie who passed away in 2013, he was 12 and a half when he passes away, but patch jumps over the edging of hes memorial garden and goes on hes garden, he chews up the roses and other plants on there, i did have some animal ornaments on charlies garden , but had to put them in my patio house as patch got hold of them, i have a bible and love heart memorial things too i had on my charlies garden, wish patch would leave charlies garden alone, well i guess hes only a puppy still! wish he would grow up a bit though! he still chews things in the house, we have all the wires covered up in the living room! anyway you take care now hugs to you my friend christine
