I love how you described Lyttelton and now Portland - it makes me feel like I'm really getting to know a place. Looking forward to more on your bungalow!

Have you named your new car yet? Is Piddle Pumper in the running🤪?

Since the car hasn’t come off a boat yet I have not named it! But I can guarantee that it will not be named that no matter how piddly it may appear 😆

I'm glad to hear that Molly's therapy seems to be helping. Will she be allowed to go swimming again someday?

Congratulations on the new home! (fingers crossed!)

Alas, poor Chippy. I hope you enjoy the Hyundai Inster!

And, I'm sorry, but "Piddle Valley" makes me giggle.

I certainly hope Molly can go swimming again as I’m missing my beach buddy especially as we experience a heat wave. And everyone loves the sound of the Piddle Valley and the river Piddle that runs through it.

Oh my lord! Piddle River! I love it! Was there some famous person with the unfortunate family name of "Piddle" or do the Piddle Valley residents have a childish sense of humor (like me! 😁). Maybe you could write up a history of Piddle Valley?

Oh my gosh those are HIDEOUS jeans in that ad! I'm certain yours are much more attractive. Glad to hear things are coming together for you (Coco from Connectopia).

Mine are more attractive – even though they are covered in muck from planting out my seedlings 😆

Gardening much makes everything more attractive.
