Heike has English lessons from me and we have become very good friends. She is a manager for a large mailing/transport company and very dynamic.

She was in London with her son and friends while I was in the north of England and so we had a lot to talk about when we met this week. She lives with her son, mother and brother in a nice big family house and with an interesting number of pets. She recently sent me pics so I shall share them with you.

They recently got a dog, and cats to add to the collection of birds and they all live happily together - as you can see. The cats and dog don't eat each other, or the birds, but play with each other!! Very interesting. See you on Wednesday Heike.

PS: I was thinking about you, Barbara, and other animal lovers as I wrote this section.
