A sad post today. Yesterday we sadly had to put down the family dog. She was getting quite old (going on 15+ years), and had been struggling with lung cancer. It sadly just got to the stage where we decided it best not to let her suffer longer than necessary.

I love #springtime, it's my favourite month (my second being autumn). All the colours, the longer days, the joy and hope for the summer to come. So to help add some of that colour and joy to my workspace I picked some flowers from my garden. Also here is a #poem I wrote to commemorate spring!
