Yesterday (09.04.17) was so hot, I had to rub sun lotion on Max! At this time of year, he was wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I couldn’t believe it!
And then I saw this…
Did this guy not feel the heat? I mean, he even had his hood on!
One another note, I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend.
Love, P. x
Hello folks!
I predominately shop online, so I find this site very useful for raising funds for charity – without paying more than I would have done, with what I was going to purchase anyway. In fact, free donations are collected for your chosen charity! I have chosen Celia Hammond Animal Trust (UK Animal Rescue Charity), but you are not limited to animal charities.
It doesn’t cost you a penny extra. When you shop the easyfundraising way with one of our 3,113 shops and sites they give us a commission for your purchase. We turn that into a donation and give it to your good cause. Easy!

Not sure if there is a scheme like this anywhere else in the world, but it’s worth you having a look.

I recently purchased these keepsake boxes, purely for their look. As a Londoner, I love anything to do with the beautiful city I was fortunate to be born in. I am also extremely proud to be British (despite a number of things going on which I really am not happy about), and love the Union Jack.
I remember singing this song in school:
‘Maybe It’s Because I’m A Londoner’
Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love London so
Well, maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go
I get a funny feeling inside of me
While walking up and down
Well, maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love the London town
Maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love London so
Well, maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I think of her wherever I go
I get a funny feeling inside of me
While walking up and down
Well, maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love the London town
“When I’m away from London, I can’t help thinking of some of my favorite places. Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace, and late at night, the fog that settles softly over London Bridge.”
I get a funny feeling inside of me
While walking up and down
Well, maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner
That I love the London town
That I love London town
That I love the London town
No matter where I am in the world, I will always be a Londoner. I will always be British. ❤

I must say, I am very proud to be a part of two of the greatest countries, and do count myself lucky.
I’m not going to use this post to point out a particular individual who doesn’t deserve the title “Veteran” nor go into detail about it, as this is not what this post is about.
Instead, I am going to praise all the Service Men, Women and Animals – in particular those who gave the ultimate sacrifice – their lives, so we have the (somewhat) Freedom we are so fortunate to have.
I have read up on war stories. I have listened to a great deal also.
Some of these Men and Women, in particular Men, have seen things that we as civilians, have never seen, nor could we ever imagine what they have had to live with for many, many years.
Some of these Men were executed by their own for cowardice, rather than be treated for what is now known as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
To both British and American soldiers, past and present ~ Thank you so much for your service. ❤
