This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt — Fluffy.
I promised myself I would cut back to one post a week. The weather is warming up so I need to catch up on some of my art projects. But I couldn’t resist this Ragtag Prompt as it is my dog’s nickname. So without further ado, here is my favourite Fluffy.

Fluffy’s other name is Makea. Makea means sweet in Finnish. Fluffy is a Finnish Lapphund (Suomenlapinkoira). The breed has its origins as a reindeer herder of the Sami people.

My thanks go to Margaret of the Ragtag Daily Prompt for today’s wonderful prompt. If you too need some inspiration, click on the link above.

This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt of Saturday, 21 July 2018 — Duck.
I’m very sad to say that for most of my children’s lives, we had neither the money, time or energy to go on holiday together. Certainly, my husband and I rarely had holidays together as we took turns to take time off work to look after the children during the school holidays. The lack of family holidays is one of my biggest regrets in life. A few years ago, my husband and the boys went on a road trip around Victoria (Australia). I stayed home (with flu), and sent my little ducklings off with their dad on a great adventure. Read more
