Mum is on her way to pick us up. Actually, if you are reading this as 6am, what she actually said was \u2018my alarm\u2019s gone off and I\u2019m about to get up\u2019. I just wanted to make sure. The last thing we wanted was her oversleeping when she\u2019s due to collect us. She has promised faithfully to set off early, in case the storm we are expecting affects the journey. On the bright side, we\u2019re having our lunch early so that we\u2019re ready for her. She says she doesn\u2019t want to have to stop to feed us on the way home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be so good to get back. When I was thinking about it I realised that I have really started to think about our new place as home now. When I thought of going home I thought about the big garden to run around in and the sheep waiting for me to check up on them. I\u2019m hoping we have a good drive back and there\u2019s plenty of time for me to check out what\u2019s been happening in the garden while I\u2019ve been away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the clips on Shadow\u2019s harness has broken so Mum has to bring a different one for her. She was going to buy a new one, but as she wasn\u2019t altogether sure of the size she went to our cupboard to find an old one that would do for the time being. You might think she\u2019d need to know what size Shadow was for that too. It turns out there were eight spare harnesses in the cupboard in differing sizes, including Shadow\u2019s old one. Mum has put them all in the car so she can find one that Shadow thinks is comfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shadow has said she wouldn\u2019t mind choosing a new one for her birthday in a couple of weeks. We\u2019ll have to see. Mum did point out that was how we\u2019d got to the point of having eight spares in the cupboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
