Posted on September 27, 2016 by Dreamaticus

Posted on September 11, 2016 by Dreamaticus

‘Mr F!’ I exclaimed when I saw TF in casual dress in the corridor at work. I wasn’t expecting to see him, so this was a lovely surprise. However, I was not the reason for his visit. He had come … Continue reading →

A suspicious highland ‘death’ (Rousse)

Posted on June 5, 2016 by Dreamaticus

TPR and I could get no peace. Just when we thought we were on our own we would look up and find a toddler and a little black dog at the end of the bed.

Back to black and white (Rousse)

Posted on January 11, 2016 by Dreamaticus

Posted on December 28, 2015 by Dreamaticus
