My Aunt Kerry

This, I am informed, is my ‘aunt’ Kerry. How come I have a dog for an aunt? Well – Kerry is my granny’s new pup/child. Therefore: Kerry is the youngest in a family of eight (by a considerable number of years!), and my aunt. This isn’t unusual in my family; [...]

I’ts been quiet around here since M and A got their own blogs. I feel like the comments are once again my own rather than a message board for M and A.

The tale of what we did in Cyprus. Part 1

News from Cyprus!
