We once again had the pleasure of the company of @marce , (Marcela) and Antonio for the day yesterday. It was lovely to be able to catch up once again before our house-sitting adventures take us to different locations - we look forward to our paths hopefully crossing again in the not too distant future xx

Yesterday we had the pleasure of meeting for lunch with @Jo27 . It was a lovely afternoon sharing stories. When it was time to go we were totally inspired to add helping out in an elephant sanctuary to our list of things to must do. Thanks for your company Jo, we will definitely be in touch again the next time we are in this area x

@Jo27 - you look great!, however, Karyo just pointed out that it looks as if he is sweating - it must be a shadow

Sunday Brunch with HO’s A and 8 other global travels. All prefer to stay under the radar but we met here 
And I had a 3 course what seemed never ending brunch that was incredible. The cappuccino was served in a soup bowl that required two hands.
Today I got whisked away to explore by HO’s B who I will be sitting for over Winter holidays!
They took me to Gods country
Over 90 pics and vids…
Grateful amazing wonderful people

There are times when life gives you what you want and when you need it.
Today that came to me in the form of members Jan & Ginger both residents of Bainbridge Island and sadly recently bereaved pet Moms.
We talked about our beloved pet family members, sit experiences, friends we’ve made, THS and how life changing it can be. We cried, laughed and shared many memories … Jan & Ginger talked about the amazing sitters they have met and those they now consider life long friends and how Jan has begun her sitting adventures, mainly to get her doggy/pet fix.
A meetup doesn’t need a cast of thousands or even more that two, it’s the connecting that’s important and the opportunity to meet like minded spirits … just when you need it.
Thank you Jan and Ginger it was all my pleasure, Paddington sends his love too and says he doesn’t mind that we cut off his head, it wasn’t his best “side” anyway 
PS >>> Perhaps we should need a forum topic on taking great selfies, the human kind.

It’s us again but, as I normally (and quite happily I have to say) spend Christmas on my own or at housesits it made a big change to spend the day near Christchurch, NZ with lovely @Colin and Karyo. We intended playing board and card games after lunch but talked non stop. Such great company and a lovely walk in Halswell Quarry Park
