Practising midwife and owner of 5 labradors would like to hear from you!
We would like to hear from you too but that is difficult given that we have no means other than to hope that you will look here again. We have just returned from 6 weeks in England and won’t be back for 3 years now. Some time ago we sent a card to you for Christmas at your mother’s address. Did you get it?
