I'm medge, I live in North Oxfordshire with my husband & son. My daughter has now flown the nest to pastures new - the seaside at Brighton to attend Uni. I was an active volunteer in my local animal rescue charity until a change of health last year. I have a veritable menagerie of animals - 2 dogs, 7 cats, 3 rabbits, 2 chinchillas, 1 rat & 1 Syrian hamster. I also loook after my daughter's pets that she couldn't take to Brighton with her - 1 cat, 2 goldfish, a fresh water mussel & a water snail!
