Doing the rounds

Hubby overdid his walk this morning and had to ring me to collect him as he couldn’t make his way home. We decided to go a little further on to the field but someone was already exercising their two springer spaniels so we didn’t stop.

Fibbing Friday 3rd July 2026: my response.

Here are my original answers to my questions six years ago. I don’t think I can better them but have added some suggestions for sequels!

1. The Missing Tent by Seymour Skye
The camping trip was always a chore, but this time something was different, and the tent seemed to have a mind of its own. If you thought tents ever held a grudge for being put away damp or yanked with guy ropes once too often, this might enlighten you!
