Do You See It?
I was looking after my six-year-old grandson one weekend. He was watching an interesting programme about frogs on TV as I was making a sandwich for his lunch. When I opened a new tub of butter I couldn’t believe the shape the butter had made on the inside of the lid – it looked like a frog my grandson was watching!

Once the game commences, these gulls – seemingly all waiting patiently for the football players to enter the pitch in my local park – will definitely be getting a “bird’s eye view” of the match.

This old picture reminds me of how therapeutic it is stroking an animal. I still often find a dog or cat to cuddle – not many sheep about!
