    Winds of Change.

    The Winter Cocoon. It is Winter in the Southern Hemisphere, for me it is a time of reflection and redirection, to go within, before coming out into the new energy of Spring. I will be re-creating our on-line gallery and adding some exciting new options. The Blog will remain as it is, with updates along…

    Dougal The Magnificent!

    We met many amazing animals and their humans whilst housesitting (2017-19) We first met Dougal when he was just a wee puppy. He would sit on my lap as I read him chapters of Inkheart. We felt such special connection with him. His beautiful family has grown now to include two more humans. I know…
