Breakfast with Strauss and Ollie
22nd August 2025 Now that we actually had coffee in the house, the morning seemed a lot smoother. It also helped that we didn’t have to rush off anywhere. Derek and I (and the ever friendly Ollie the cat) sat and enjoyed a few cups of coffee before breakfast and a hike. The hill that…
