How long is too long???
(Preview)
Kiwi As and Kiwi Rainbow are caught up in this age old question, it was almost answered when a number of GNs spent a short time at Howlong on their way to Greens Lake .... the latest chapter has been exposed ... the answer must surely be "less than a furlong" if you can blink and miss it!!!

My new stickers

I had this sticker made for Lulu, and on advise from GN's, had a male name added to it so that I don't 'advertise' the fact that I'm a female travelling alone.
