I was very upset when I first saw Beryl, so I asked Lynn(http://lynnnonameblog.blogspot.co.uk/) if I could buy her and take her off the streets for good and give her shelter in London.
She arrived today, in a good state of mind and 'tatter', and is terribly grateful to be in a warm home now, with an aging couple and a sweet little dog.
She will always remind me of how fortunate I am to have a roof over my head, meals on the table, a job in these difficult times, a husband and family I care for and (almost) good health at my age in life.
She has already whispered in my ear:
*Live each day to the full
* Count your blessings
* Neither success or failure are ever permanent
* Each day above ground is a good day
I love her to bits- thanks Lynne.xx

Congrats for buying her. Lynn told me she sold it and I am happy to see it went to a nice home. :) She did an awesome job on it. Looked good in the book she got it into also. :)
She is a beauty for sure. I am glad you got her and she is an inspiration to you.
Oh Joss and you gave her a name! How sweet is that!
I'm happy "Bag Lady" arrived safely in London; that she has been taken in by you and your family and now adorns your loving home.
Thank you so so much for honoring me this way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs,
Lynn
