We went to visit our friends’ beautiful puppy today, Wigsy, a gorgeous Golden Retriever. 
Frank, the cat who already lives with our friends is not enamoured (yet) of the young newcomer so spends much of his time upstairs. 
We have recently bought a small clematis, Armandii, a scented winter flowerer. Our friends have a fabulous example of this lovely plant.
Regular readers will know that I like to watch dogs playing on our beaches. You may not know that I am very nervous if a dog gets close having been bitten twice as a child. About ten years ago I met a beautiful, gentle natured dog, Kaja, who won my affections and helped me overcome my fear.
Very sadly, she fell ill and died a couple of weeks ago. She is sorely missed. Here are some of the photos that I have taken over the years of the lovely Kaja who became a friend.
