Welsh poppies! <br /> Is there any thing quite as splendid as an old dog, getting a bit creaky and grey, but still showing flashes of puppyhood. Budge is curled up on my lap as I try to type. He will be 12 this year, and has always known when to offer a warm furry head to stroke if the world is giving me a hard time.
