So there I was, minding my own business and about to reach for the knitting (teaching myself fairisle..hmmmm) and, from out of left field and the periphery of my vision, a brown dog launched itself at me.

wouldn't that be lovely? As we sit here, in retreat, which some call quarantine or isolation, it's good to remember the carefree days on the beach with the dogs.
