Readers Write and Brett's Monthly


From Enid C:
Dear Otto,

This morning Philip sat at the table and I heard a laugh and “Oh Otto!”

Now he is reading out selected funnies happily having sent the Springer photo to the kids in UK as they have an adored springer called Poppy who usually goes on holidays with them. For example this weekend they are off to Hever Castle in Kent for active weekend of triathlon stuff ... and Poppy goes too.

Thank you, I don’t know how you find the time in your busy life.

Enid
