her.
    “ Sounds good to me, and could we possibly not mention the fact I’m boyfriend-less”
    “Certainly no mention of it chick”.
     
    With that I glanced out of the window, with the journey  being more or less without conversation.
    My driver Ant glancing in the rear view mirror every now and then just keeping  an eye on traffic.  The street lights passed us in a motionless blur as we arrived at the wrought iron gates of my converted barn and 22 acres of woodland, I discovered the barn one day when I was walking one of my dogs. It’s dishevelled appearance had taken my fancy, with its old world charm. I had spent months making it into a home and now it was.
     
    “It amazes me every time I come her Maddie” Lisha said interrupting my thoughts.
    “Well it’s home.. Nothing too fancy”
    “Could be a little bigger then?” she replied snorting with laughter.
    “We are going to get these dogs settled then?” I knew we had a little challenge of getting these dogs in, and Lisha thought it was funny, even I thought it was funny.
    The car crunched along on the gray gravel that covered the courtyard outside my home, we gradually came to a gentle stop as he parked my car outside the big wooden front door that was glazed with a stained glass picture of two dogs playing in a stream. I looked across to Lisha.
    “Shall we?”
    “After you Maddie, age before beauty” she retorted
    “Age before beauty?
    “Well I am the more responsible adult in our friendship” Lisha smiled walking to the back  of the car, she opened the trunk and the dogs began to become excited about the prospect of jumping all over us.
    “You take Sophie and put her in the dining room, where it’s warmest, there should be a bed in there, extra blankets are in the usual place”
    My own dogs heard us before we even opened the front door, I could hear them bound across the parquet flooring attempting to keep their footing, I wondered who would be first to it. Oscar, Maisie, Phoebe and Mitze?. My money was on Oscar. I opened the door and the dogs proceeded to barge past me and into the courtyard. It was a chorus of barking, with the dogs in the back of the car competing with my dogs who were running around the yard in excitement. I called to them, and placed them in the Orangery where they wouldn’t cause any more problems.
     
    Lisha walked in with the English Springer in her arms,
    “Would you mind if I named her?”  I asked closing the door after Lisha and walking across the floor towards the kitchen.
    “Sure any good names you have in mind?”
    “Bella sounds good, goes with Nelly in an odd way” ,I kicked off my boots and sat on the sofa that had looked liked it had been beaten up.
    “Bella, that's settled then”
    I watched a Lisha put Bella on the floor to have a wander around, she sniffed at every piece of furniture, barked at the television and then parked herself on the rug looking pleased with  herself.
    I  made my way across to the bar that was made of blue glass and silver stripes, it had every conceivable drink known. I wasn’t an alcoholic, I just enjoyed a drink.
     
    “Drink, Lisha?” I pulled down a bottle of Smirnoff Red and two highball glasses
    “Something wet and wild” she called over
    “Wet and wild ?”,knowing that Lisha was a bit of a comedian, but I tried to contain the giggle as I poured the Vodka into the glasses and took out a bottle of Cola, the cold condensation running down the face of it, reminding me of a situation I experienced back in my college dorm involving several ice cubes, whipped cream and a good looking man
    I handed Lisha her Vodka and Coke as I sat down next to her tucking my legs underneath me to get comfortable.
    “You know you can get changed if you want to”
    “Yeah I know, most of my stuff is stashed in some draws somewhere as I am always stopping here”
    Lisha took a sip from her drink and placed it on the little coffee table in front of us. The conversation soon turned to
