That sounds like Alice. I do think Gizmo is a handsome dog--who looks just like the actor Fred Ward. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0911542/ Tell me there's no resemblance!Nancy Sussannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-88179431309971050102010-09-18T01:48:05.611+01:002010-09-18T01:48:05.611+01:00I enjoy your blog...it is so lovely!!

I used to have a boy staffy, Mithers was his name-o. How I loved that dog. Good luck with finding a home for him, he is a lucky boy being with you. You are very very sweet to with your wonderful giveaways. Leave me out of the fedora, I am too far away to post and it would probably end up shattered, anyway a beloved member of my family is visiting soon, so I may be the recipient of my fave giveaways, Horlick's light and Sainsbury's deodorant....<br />Love always xxxxxxxxxxxxxEstherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721404161146084763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-11036734733960703772010-09-15T15:41:10.692+01:002010-09-15T15:41:10.692+01:00Forgot to say that your give-a-way is wonderful an...Forgot to say that your give-a-way is wonderful and generous just like you!Sandra Gillandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784812302381420497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-36457471458863688892010-09-15T15:38:17.972+01:002010-09-15T15:38:17.972+01:00Dearest Rachel,

It was a very fortunate day for me when we shared our first tweet and my world has been made richer and a lot more fun since you became part of it. <br />Gizmo is a treasure and I want to place a big o kiss right on his head and give him a cuddle.<br />Can tell he is a sweetie. You are his champion and so good for him. Well on to your blog..<br />I feel like I have a friend here, one who feels the same joy of life and passion for living it to the fullest. Your travel discriptions and pictures take me away to wonderful places and I so enjoy all of them. Thank you for being who you are and congratulations again on your blog anniversary.<br />May we all enjoy many more!Sandra Gillandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17784812302381420497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-58448594858571886642010-09-15T12:10:32.322+01:002010-09-15T12:10:32.322+01:00Dear Rachel,

You live in such a wonderful area, and do such wonderful things (one of my favorite posts was your description of that writer's workshop!) I get such enjoyment out of following you ♥<br /><br />P.S.- Gizmo is adorable... you are so kind for taking him in!Erin | Bygone Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599917760328625577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-33227610331321517702010-09-14T22:24:26.385+01:002010-09-14T22:24:26.385+01:00Oh I already love Gizmo and wish I could adopt him...Oh I already love Gizmo and wish I could adopt him! And bear in mind that I am more of a cat person.<br /><br />We went to the Lake District last July, as you know, and spend a day in Windemere. We also bought the Kendal mint cake, which for some reason I did not like all that much. But it is true that we did not do any hiking.<br /><br />Which reminds me that I should have bought a proper coat for cold weather when I was there.Guillaumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12376749604845793465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8734264482582229087.post-9138270339241163712010-09-14T21:09:01.065+01:002010-09-14T21:09:01.065+01:00Oh, I love everything about your blog!

I must tell you, I still have a calendar on my kitchen wall from 2004, since it is a beautiful Beatrix Potter one! Her books are wonderful and her drawings are outstanding and it is down to her that we have the Lake District to enjoy! I would love to win!

My heart is overflowing with love ...Dearest Rachel,<br />My heart is overflowing with love and admiration for you, Paul and Alice fostering sweet Gizmo. Oh what poor little sausage he is, I have never heard of cherry eye before which actually sounds quite cute, although it is obviously to the contrary. I can imagine how much he is enjoying being with you all showering him with all of the love and affection he deserves. <br />I am so so pleased to hear that Gwilym has found his forever home with a sprollie girlfriend no less! <br />Oh golly, I had completely forgotten about your amazing birthday giveaway for a moment with all of the puppy love that my heart is swelling with from your wonderful post. Congratulations on twelve glorious months of your wonderful blog and I am so happy and proud to say that I have followed you since your very first post. What a kind and generous soul you are (but I already knew that!) and I would love to be the very lucky recipient of such beautiful and interesting treasures from your travels so I am going to cross my fingers and my toes for a lucky dip! <br />Sending love and hugs to you, Paul, Alice and sweet Gizmo<br />Morwenna <br />xoxoMorwenna Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04147188118923174093noreply@blogger.com
