Butterfly Effect
I think this colourful little butterfly, that landed as I was reading, seems to be enjoying my magazine almost as much as me!

Marriage Memories
This picture is of me and my wonderful late husband Robert, who I sadly lost in the pandemic. He was a special and unique person and I miss him so much.
We had 23 very happy years together, and May this year would have been our 20th wedding anniversary. Looking back at our wedding album, this picture really takes me back to our special day!

Water Babies
My wife and I have been watching a swans’ nest at Foots Cray Meadows Nature Reserve for weeks now and were delighted to discover that the pen had given birth!

Puppy Love
This is when I got to meet my new puppy, Bronson, at just 10 weeks old.
I can see we are going to have a long and happy life together.

Cool Kitty’s Mouse Hunt
This is our cat Snowball.
Although it looks as though she’s mediating in a yoga-like position, she was actually waiting for an elusive mouse to emerge from the garden wall (it didn’t!).

A Cheeky Chappie!
Look who I banged into outside a working men’s club whilst on holiday? Charlie Chaplin! It was great seeing him – although he was looking a bit worse for wear.

Donkey Work!
As I’m a devoted member of animal charities (my second cat Aurora was adopted from the RSPCA Southall Cattery), I have recently been asked to hold a fundraising stand at our local gardens here in SE1, London. I really wanted to take advantage of the opportunity, and I’ve knitted some colourful donkeys with a view of selling these on my table this year. Here is one of my newly knitted donkeys. I love them!
