A hatch, a match and a despatch!

Last Saturday we had a very emotional day!  First of all, I helped Mark calve a cow who needed help.  Luckily the cow and calf were both fine and healthy so we left them to "bond" in the pen for the rest of the day.   A quick visit to our parish church at lunchtime to see a lovely new bride and groom emerge and travel by pony and trap was the "match" of the day.  Then unfortunately, our lovely terrier dog, Polly, who was over 13 yrs of age, died on Saturday afternoon, so we found ourselves burying her in our garden. She was the despatch!  So a hatch, a match and a despatch all in the space of 4 hours.  Farewell Polly, rest in peace my darling friend.
