Description

I'd like to take the opportunity to wish all my BP friends a very happy Christmas, and above all good health through this festive season. A lot of people have one less member at their Christmas table this year, our family included, as we have just lost my husband's Mother. May 2016 bring lots of joy and strength throughout.
I took this pic of Huckleberry on the morning of the funeral, its almost as though he knew something was amiss. He is a complete stranger to me, I took him in the street in front of a cafe.
