Happy to hear about the wildlife , here I had a Cat for 3 weeks , one evening I saw it trying to find food in neighbours garbage so I called it and gave some food ,next day was waiting in the garden , was such a sweet Cat but I am allergic and also Lici is the princess of the house and doesn't want anyone , I fed this sweety for 3 weeks , wanted to come in but I could not let her in and the weather now is cold and raining so I had to find a rescue to take her in , I do miss her but it is best , it is sad but people are abandoning their pets , anyway Cat is in a home now . I am not well and here the situation with the virus is bad , staying home all the time , we are in lockdown , its a bad time , just living in hope that things will get better . I am not online much ,have to do my shopping , I am suffering from migraines and cannot be on my computer long .Miss being here but this is life now , here the Sparrows are living in the garden eating lots of fat balls and seeds , sometime the Squirrel visits , still feeding the fox , there are 3 now , one has a long tail . Here I have not seen TWD last episodes , looks like we are now living like the walking dead , I guess it will end soon . You and all keep well , lots of love , peace , joy , keep smiling , be happy , see you soon , forever friends , Lucy**

I LOVE choc chip cookies. I'll take a couple :D you all had a great time I can tell. I wonder if the kids will grow up to be chefs (maybe pastry chefs) It would be cool if one of them opened a restaurant :D So bring on the baking goodies mmmm mmmm
