It’s Easter, most people leave town for the break. Not us, not that there is much to do.

I feel heart broken by the numbers of stray animals here. It is truly awful. A dog near my children’s school has captured my heart. I turned a blind eye until I saw her with a wee puppy one day. Now she has me under her spell.
