International Women's Day....

 
 
 
Hello everyone, how are you on this International Women's Day? All well I hope....
I would like to mark this day with pride for women everywhere. Especially for women who came before us.....
 
 
Emmeline Pankhurst 1913
 
 
Women of note have rightfully earned their place in history for standing up for women's rights in a male dominated world....
 
 
A British Suffragette 1910
 
 
But let us not forget the women from many walks of lives who stood beside women like Emmeline Pankhurst. Many whose names will never be known but who fought together so women of today could be heard....
 
 
Suffragettes Marching in New York 1915
 
 
For women everywhere, past, present and future, Happy International Women's Day....
 
 
 
 
And now for something completly different but very close to my heart....My friend and I have been discussing how many well-loved family pets are going missing, too many especially here in Cornwall. I would like to ask that you keep your furry family close and please make sure they are indoors before it is dark. There are a lot of cruel people out there who will steal your precious pets for many reasons, mainly for use as bait for training dogs for fighting...Barbaric....
 
 
 
 
These low-lives are more likly to strike in the early hours of the morning when your cat is heading home. The cat will be tired and hungry and more easily caught. Please be extra vigilant if you are selling any animals because again these unscrupulous people will use this to target your animals. Please, Please keep your animals safe and if you see anything suspicious please report it...thank you...
 
I know, a strong topic to end this post with but I felt the need to say it.
Will be back soon so until then take care...Hugs Chrissy xx
