A very scary thought--undertaking a 2500-mile tour of the UK. All alone, by car and foot. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. A mature widow previously teaching computing and word processing, I determine to keep up to date, challenging myself; internet, email, Facebook, Instagram had never been heard of. I have published articles over the years, children's comics, jokes for comedians and written lectures for adult education, and was a manager for Avon Cosmetics. My four-year-old car sitting neglected in my drive; my tour involved two months of organising in advance. I still have to learn a lot about my iPhone--it got me lost twice! Back to my children and grandchildren for more tuition. Booking.com is my saviour. Sat-nav TomTom is my guide. Find Friends keeps me in touch. The next tour will be to Ireland (Eire)--already in the planning stage.

He is very lively and rushes about everywhere. His breath is only just warm as he is a baby, but his tail flicks about all over the place! He loves telling jokes to Dartmouth.They sit on the front passenger seat with the seat belt on when Mum takes her twin boys to school in the car. Oliver and Lewis are 5 years old and identical.

Dad works in London during the week, so doesn’t know about the furry friends’ adventures.
