Lambies sent to Joy and to you :shaun::thelambiesarecoming: as you will need them as well. I am so sorry. Joy should be fine when she is back home again but I can understand how you must be feeling. :hug:
Happy Birthday to Steve, the place you are staying looks idyllic. Has been horribly hot here, thank heaven cooler today. My neighbours are off to Australia on Tuesday, packing their winter clothes 😊
Lovely garden @Candy and Joy looks well. The year has rushed by and now we are almost at the solstice (is it tomorrow or today?) and the dark evenings seem then to rush in, I hate it.
Being in the same age range as your friend, our dogs mean so much to us, so I can deeply empathise with her. Added to which, his untimely death was so very sudden and such a shock.
