For the first time in years both Jean and I are working full time. This means Poppie and Bella have to spend days at home on the bed by themselves. For Poppie, this is an old routine but for Bella this is new.

She has never had a day in her life without either Jean or I around so last week was a shock – as you can see from the attached photos.

There’s nothing like arriving home to a warm welcome and a destroyed bedroom, and yes the more observant of you will see she has eaten her way into a feather pillow – the second one this week.
