It is the winter holidays at Punchbowl Farm. Dion is busy clearing the top copse and enlists everyone's help in cutting sticks, pulling stumps, and building a huge bonfire. The Jersey cow has her calf out in the valley. The rain comes to brim the lakes above the Mill House where some new friends, Ruth and Roy, have just come to live. There are interesting things to be done indoors and out, there are animals to look after, from ponies to bantams, and there is the wild wet country to enjoy.

The Journeyer
Marco Polo was nicknamed "Marco of the millions" because his Venetian countrymen took the grandiose stories of his travels to be exaggerated, if not outright lies. As he lay dying, his priest, family, and friends offered him a last chance to confess his mendacity, and Marco, it is said, replied "I have not told the half of what I saw and did."
"My Best Friends have Hairy Legs" is the story of my dog, Trooper, and me overcoming abusive relationships. It is a story about his growth from a fearful puppy into a confident adult dog - and mine - from a psychologically abused wife into a confident woman who can look back at my past with laughter and no regrets. I don't believe my story is unique. Our stories might differ, the details change, but the emotions and feelings are the same. I wanted to tell our story because we have survived.
