Thanks,Ann,good work.Hope you are well,Alfie is in his basket,fast asleep,but he sends a big hug and a couple of woofs.
 
Thanks Christine,

I think we are in for a quiet few weeks nature programme wise until Autumnwatch.

Give Alfie a big hug and kiss from me, his woofs mean he was chasing rabbits in his sleep or enjoying the bedtime treats you give him.

Ann :-O
 
Hi Matt,

Thanks, sorry your folks didn't pick last week there was a lot more choice than this week. Don't forget Nature of Britain tonight.
