Great pictures Ali. I remember the one of James riding one - very brave! I was always astonished seeing your pictures because I always thought water buffalo to be quite dangerous animals but yours always seemed so friendly. I hope you get the farm you want in Hampshire - how exciting for you. Are you able to stay where you are until you get it? Must be quite an upheaval for you moving your menagerie!

I just went into the kitchen to make a cup of tea and Maggie came in with a toy in her mouth and that please play look on her face - so sweet. So tea had to wait while Maggie and I played hide and go find - her favourite game. She is getting really good at it now and able to sit and wait until I have found a hiding place for quite a while. Before I always had a job with getting her to stay long enough for me to hide it but now she is very good. I start of with easy finds and then they get harder but she always gets it in the end and she comes running back with it in her mouth so pleased with herself - she is so funny!

Friday tomorrow thank goodness - been a long week. Hope the weather is better tomorrow.
