WOYWW

I am determined to post my WOYWW early this Wednesday so am writing this on Tuesday evening! The same things will be on my desk Wednesday morning as I have finished for this evening and tomorrow morning I go to my sewing group at 10.00am
Saturday I went to a local fair here in Spain and was really disappointed with the second hand stuff available on the stalls, made me think back to my craft fair days. So hence the sewing on the desk this week.

Yes this is my very old reliable industrial Singer sewing machine and I am making aprons for adults and children in childrens material and Christmas material. Have set a target of three a day, with the end result having enough stock to fill a stall nearer Christmas not just with aprons but other handmade objects.

On the right is the selection so far.






I have not forsaken the  crocheting, but it is getting a little warm for crocheting a double ply blanket on your knee. Think today has been the hottest of the year so far, my car did show 35C when I got in earlier.

Thought you might like to see what I woke up to the other morning.

On the floor is a dead rat, body bottom left and head top right. with the two killers on the other side of the doors. I have a cat flap so during the night they had brought it indoors. Yuk.

'Me the killer never'

This is the cat that has been renamed 'the follower' since my lab died two years ago she follows me everywhere and is always sat on my desk if she can't find a space she will make one,

I finish with thanks for all your good wishes for my son, he goes back into the Christie hospital in Manchester tomorrow for his third round of chemo, He remains very positive and I shall be going back to the UK again in July.

WOYWW

Hello all,
I am now back in sunny Spain but my work desk still remains empty. I can show you what is on my knee this week though.
It is the beginning of my crochet blanket for my bed, different shades of pinks and lilacs. I bought the wool in the UK as Spain doesn't have double knitting wool as we know it. I am trying to crochet three colours a day but this may drop to two as the weather here gets hotter.

As I started this while in the UK my 11 year old grandson was intrigued with it and said he would like one also but in the colours of the rainbow, but when I said that would be 7 colours  no he wanted more. so we finished up with all these colours.

So watch this space as to how this progresses.

My son has completed his second round of chemo and begins the third on 8th June, he remains positive and we can only hope and pray for a recovery. His main test will come in July when he has chemo and radiotherapy together. I shall be there to support him, his partner and son through this terrible time. 

It is lovely to be back in Spain and feel the warmth of the sunshine.

WOYWW

Sorry ladies but nothing on my desk today as I am in the UK supporting my son who has been diagnosed with cancer. He starts his 2nd round of chemo today so I have been left in charge of my 11year old grandson.
However I have taken the opportunity to purchase some wool (far superior quality here in the UK than Spain) and have started crocheting a cover for my bed

Now to see if I can link up via my mobile phone. Hahaha.

WOYWW

Gosh how quickly the Wednesday's come round. Sorry but I have no desk this week as my daughter and partner arrive on Friday so it is all packed away. We need the space.
Time has been spent in the garden this week so here are a couple of plant photos.

 This first one is from an old amaryllis bulb that I had throw out in the garden I thought it was all rotten but hey presto I now have these beautiful flowers.

The second one well I don't know what it is called just like the plant so purchased it and it seems to be thriving in the hot sunshine.

I suppose you could say the garden has been my work desk this week.

Off to pick some lemons off the tree to enhance the smoked salmon and cream potato I have made for dinner. Then afterwards to ice two carrot cakes I have made for other people I might add.

WOYWW

Wow where has today gone only just managed to take this and write up the blog. Wednesday is a busy day for me - sewing circle in the morning home for quick lunch then to the ladies meeting group in the afternoon. Only just got round to taking a photo of my desk (table) at 10.35pm but it is still Wednesday.

On there tonight are my blanket squares, awaiting joining have been trying to master the flat braid method of joining. Also top right hand corner two cards, one I made for my friend who adores cats but this then went as an emergency swimming group card for her so a quick tape and butterfly card was made from me as I couldn't find another one suitable in my stash.

I think summer is coming the temperature has been in the high 20's today, time to bring out the sun tan cream me thinks. Hope the weather continues as my daughter is coming to stay next week, paying an early visit this year so I don't think the sea will be warm enough for a swim but knowing her she will try it. Brrrh

Off to my bed now.
Thanks for visiting

Ok no picture of my desk this week as I haven't been in the house much so no work in progress. This is a picture of our sewing class table taken today. Although it is called sewing I think it is mostly wool craft - knitting and crocheting. There are two ladies sewing one doing cross stitch and the other embroidery. We meet once a week in a comfortable bar where we are made very welcome. Come the summer months and will be outside facing the sea. 

I love looking at the WOYWW blog reports and smile to myself at the photos of the workrooms, are any crafters really tidy? I think not. One thing I always make sure of is that my chairs are free of clutter, so I can always sit down to do some work. This is a photo of my store room I don't work in here for obvious reasons. One day, one day it will be tidy I promise you. 

Off now to link up and hope I get it right this week. Have a good week and see you next Wednesday.

WOYWW 2

This is what is on my desk this week, well my computer desk - my lovely cat QC, since the death of my lab/pointer cross Morse last year she is never far from my side.





Seeing as I have no work desk to show this week thought perhaps you would like to see work around my chair. I always have some knitting or crocheting on the go for when I sit down. Note my cat in the bottom right corner waiting for me to take my seat.

I am beginning to prepare for my daughter's visit so step one is the garden. This week the jasmine had a re-pot and the day after I took this photo it was nearly in full flower. We have had some very sunny days this past week with temperatures in the mid 20's. The other picture is a member of the 'bottle brush' family I saw it when I was in the garden centre and liked the gold tips on the flowers so treated myself to this one and also a  violet coloured one.

This morning I was at the sewing circle and wondered about taking a picture of the table there, but seeing it was full of coffee cups and glasses and not much in the way of crafts will leave it for another Wednesday when more of our work is on view.

WOYWW

As a newbie  to this blogging link up I don't know if this is correct or not but here goes.
Two desks photos first is my wool table which consists of my learning to crochet and also tapestry wools which I use to make 'A cross in your Pocket'.
These you can just see in the plastic box top right. I have about 20 to make for this Sunday and have done only 3 so far.

The second photo is my card making desk (well pasting table) had to quickly make two cards so thought these with decorated tape would be quickest.

I haven't actually got a crafting desk have to put a table up when I want to craft. Perhaps this is a good idea as it means I have to clear it away every Friday, if I had a permanent desk I would not be able to see the surface!
Now to publish and link up. Haha.

Sunny Easter
The weather this Easter has been lovely, much warmth and sunshine.  A little different from previous years.
We went up to the village Good Friday to see the procession. I haven't seen an Easter procession for years always being involved with church does make it difficult.
Here are a few photos I took. The first is the float being carried out of church and down the steps, the second shows how the float just fits through the village streets.

These floats are carried round the village down and back up a very steep hill.
Our village procession was only on a small scale the bigger towns providing more decorative and much larger statues.

 This is a photo of my two cats they often lie upside down together on the chair but this morning I caught them both face forward. It's hard to believe they are brother and sister.  Kavvie is long haired and QC short haired, when they were kittens they were nearly identical. They are nearly always together and if they aren't both in at night they meow for one another. I remember once when QC had to spend the night at the vets, it was a long noisy night as Kavvie walked round the house meowing for her.

I have been trying to teach myself to crochet these past two weeks and completed the first blanket this week, nothing fancy but someone may be glad of it to keep a little one warm.

 I am now hoping to crochet a colourful granny stripe blanket for my bed. Watch this space.

Tuesday was the 'flutterkickers' lunch, we are a group who meet twice a week in the summer months to do some swimming and mouth exercises in the pool! During the winter months and to keep the group together we have a lunch the last Tuesday in the month.

Wednesday is 'my' day - sewing group in the morning, I have just recently rejoined this group after many years absence and am really enjoying their company. Then in the afternoon I go to the WOW ( women on Wednesday) an open group any lady can come along to. No rules just a good natter and liquid refreshment, If you want to sell things you can, anything from cakes etc, clothes, books whatever you want to get rid of! There is sometimes a nail beautician there as well as a lady who reads the cards and we have a small raffle and donate the proceeds to a local charity. Anything goes within reason!

Gosh it is the fourth month where have they gone. I love these early months of April, May and June with the light evenings and warm days, look on it as my Mojacar before the tourists start to come and take over all the parking spaces and everywhere is busy and noisy.

A Happy New Year to All

As most of my friends will know I have been incapacitated during the last few months.After waiting for over a year (because of other medical reasons) for a new hip I finally went into hospital at the beginning of November for my long awaited new hip but I hadn't counted on the after effects. My hip is absolutely fine but I developed sores which turned to ulcers and I am still suffering with them. If anyone says to you they have ulcers please sympathise with them, the pain as been excruciating, the nurses are still coming to my home to dress them, this means I have been more or less housebound three days a week. I cannot drive not because of my hip but because I cannot sit in the seat properly! 

I have been trying to exercise but not always easy, this week I have started walking along the paseo, I don't have the confidence to go without my crutch outdoors but am managing inside without. Obviously my recover has been put back because of the ulcers.
Enough of that.

So what have I been doing to fill my time, well I started knitting blanket squares because I found I couldn't concentrate on anything more difficult, managed to finish two blankets that I passed to a member of Llanos church for the Greenfields Africa projects.

Then began knitting some hand puppets that was requested by another charity organisation. These are great fun to do and so simple.

A week or so ago I started going back to the sewing group where I found that small mittens etc were needed for our local hospital, so have knitted a few pairs - no photo though as I have already passed them on to a lady who is going to take them to the hospital next week. 

Christmas 2015 did not really exist as I couldn't do much but between Vojta and myself we managed to cook a lovely piece of T-bone beef. I couldn't send any cards or buy any presents so for this please accept my apologies.

The 'cross in my pocket' are still proving popular,  have had two requests to please make some more, I have made about 20 and will make sure they reach the people who have asked for them. Imagine they will make a good Easter presents.

We have had a very mild winter here in Spain yesterday the temperature was in the 20's and looking at the dawn sky this morning looks like we are in for another warm day.

Being laid up these last few months has made me realise what an awful amount of 'stuff' I have in my house, craft wise and other. So I have started to do something about it and began a massive clear up and throw out. I have two workrooms one full of card making material and cross stitch and the other sewing material and wools etc. I made a start on the card making materials first and have now finished the task. I completely emptied this room,washed shelves and floor and now from 

THIS TO                            

THIS

I might even have room for more purchases.

                             

All my card/paper is sorted into boxes colourwise and labelled. The Chinese man from Euro Market has got to know me the amount of plastic boxes I have purchased this last week and more may be required when I start on the other room.

I have disposed of most of my knitting patterns some of the baby patterns had the price of 6d on them so were very old, but then baby cardigans don't change in fashion much. Probably like all crafters you think ah I may be able to use this so don't throw it away.

So one room completed and another one to go.

Since beginning to type this blog (which was over a week ago) I have had a go at driving and am now managing outside without crutches, all progress.

Watch this space to see this room all nice and tidy I don't think it will be done this next week though perhaps the week after.

Quiet week
Well I have been on my own for a full week and how quiet it has been.No one asking what's for lunch, what's for dinner, what time will you be back.
In case you are wondering V has returned to the Czech Rep. to renew his documents and to see his family.
So how am I making the most of this time? Well, the first two days were for me, just to potter around and take stock. 
Then I haven't really been still since. 
Monday was our monthly church council meeting and from leaving home at 9.30am it was 2.00pm when I returned, goodness knows what we talk about that takes so long!

Tuesday I went to the post office to post my friends birthday card, never know how long post takes to reach the UK, but it isn't her birthday until the end of the month. We have been friends since our junior school days and both ended up marrying someone with the same surname! 
Having a cup of coffee in the 'plaza' it is surprising how many people pass through and talk to you. Must remember if I am in need of company this is the place to go especially in the 
morning. I stayed there longer than intended talking to Tony 
but so what I have nothing to go home for and Tony likewise I suspect.

Wednesday Two of our church members had a coffee morning and Bring & Buy sale at the home, beautiful views and a lovely warm, sunny morning. The event raised 413€ for church funds, we are a self funding church and we employ a full time priest although we belong to the Church of England and are part of the Diocese in Europe we receive no funding from them.

Beautiful views from the Parata

A fair bit of chatting going on

and delicious cakes

An enjoyable morning was had by all who attended.

Straight from there I went to the weekly 'Women on Wednesday' (WOW) meeting at the Loft. There was a few more ladies there this week and we will see an increase as the 'stay away from Spain in the summer' brigade return to make this their winter home. The WOW club are a group of woman who just get together and chat, exchange goods, etc. what monies we raise go to the Stepping Stones care centre to help buy food and drink for their weekly lunch meeting. So that day I didn't arrive back home until gone 4.00pm.

Thursday I thought a day at home but no Rev. Pauline rang and asked if I could meet her to sign some papers,(I am the church warden) so once again a trip out for coffee in the plaza. It's not a bad life here.

Friday at long last a day at home and what did I have to show for it at the end of the day - nothing. I did print the Owls (our weekly church newsletter) and send them to all on the mailing list. 

So that is my first week on my own, hopefully next week perhaps I can get some of the many jobs done that I have planned.

Long hot summer

Well we've had one long hot summer but today the weather has changed and we are experiencing some long awaited rain. It is beautiful and much needed.

As per usual I am glad the summer is over and all the tourists have left and we have our Mojacar back to ourselves. I often wonder how we, the residents benefit from all the tourists - broken pots, graffiti, unmentionables on the roads and pavements, loud music, no where to park, cars abandoned everywhere. The biggest reward must go to the supermarkets, then the bars and restaurants. I wonder how many bar owners will see the winter out here, not many I bet.

Since my last post of here I have acquired another dog. He was rescued from a local village after being left tied up in the blazing sun all day. When I brought him home he was weak, thin, full of ticks and fleas, infection of eyes and ears and exhausted. Today I am glad to report he is now fully recovered from all these nasties. There is only one problem he does not like cats and I have two which he thinks he should chase, so unfortunately I cannot keep him as it is unfair to the cats whose home this is. Because he is old no one else wants him, and he so affectionate, gentle and no trouble apart from the cat situation. He loves going for a walk and walks very well on the lead, doesn't mind other dogs and is willing to please.

This is Lewis shortly after I rescued him.

This is Lewis today he hates having his photo taken and runs round and round me. Honestly he is a great deal happier although he doesn't look it.

I love my two cats and the things they get up to, although since acquiring the dog they spend most of the time indoors and with the heat of the summer sleeping.

Nothing like stretching out

The cats are not allowed on this chair but try telling QC that.

Brother and sister love.

I have been losing weight all summer in readiness for a hip replacement, that I hope will be very shortly, I see the anesthetist this month then will have to wait for the op date. The more weight I can lose the better it will be for me. 

Earlier this week I went to see the film 2nd best Marigold Hotel, didn't think it as good as the first but Maggie Smith is a fantastic actress. Afterwards we were served an Indian based supper. The proceeds went towards our church here.  I am still making the little 'cross in your pocket' in aid of church funds and have now made over 100. I will be coming to the end soon because I have no more plastic canvas left. This project all started from a talent that we launched in church where we all had 10€ and had to increase the original money.  

Well we have had our downpour for approximately 30 minutes so will not have to water the plants tonight. I hope it was clean rain and not the horrible red stuff that colours everywhere. Glad I didn't clean the windows this week.

Visitors gone all quiet

This past week has seen my daughter Sarah and her partner Cameron come and go. Love having them here as they are so much fun and I get to go and do things I don't do on my own.

Made the first annual venture onto the beach and into the sea, it was so refreshing as the temperatures have been in the high 30's this past week. Getting to the sea was a little difficult as the sand was so hot and the boards the town hall lay down on the sand have over the years become shorter and shorter.

The second visit to the beach the sea was too rough for me to venture into so it was just a paddle to cool my feet. 

The following day we decided to give the beach a miss and went inland to a hostel I know where we could swim and have lunch. We ordered a seafood paella and I must say not being a great lover of rice I thoroughly enjoyed it. Only six other people round the pool so it was bliss, no children dive bombing or screaming. 

Obviously while they are here we eat out sometimes so have had a few tapas lunches and evening meals. I love eating out occasionally something I don't very often do. We had a fabulous meal at our local Brazilian restaurant, all of us had 'rodizio' I gave up long before Cameron and Sarah, Cameron was the winner and carried on to the end. 

Cameron is also a good bbq chef and cooked sirloin steak to perfection one night and another night chilli marinaded chickens legs. Must say Sarah is a good sous chef as she kept telling Cameron and I.

I did notice that while they were here one of my cats had the sulks. always sitting with her back to me but now she has become the same old QC again. 

So now it is back to normal whatever that is living in Spain. All the washing done and put away, bedroom cleaned and V re-installed.

Hope this coming week isn't quite so hot and humid but it's only a hope somehow I don't think so.

About time I started looking to make my Christmas cards perhaps that will cool me down.

W/e Saturday 20th June
What has this week been like? Well this week began with the first visitors - V's parents from the Czech Republic. It is good to see them but hard work as the only language they speak is obviously Czech, I can identify some words but have to have translation.They spent most of the morning on the beach and I only met up with them late afternoon for a drink.

Everywhere round here is beginning to look very dry and parched, I just pray that there are no fires. I don't think I have been so frightened as when we had the fires a few years ago. Two cats, one dog an myself spent the night on the beach. Just hope holiday makers realise the danger of disposing of cigarette ends and act responsibly when enjoying barbecues.

Noticed the difference in the amount of traffic on the beach road this morning the holiday season is starting. Possibly the Spanish children have finished school now.

Our exercise swimming class started on Tuesday morning, the water was a little cold but after a few minutes of jumping up and down the feeling of numbness ceased. This morning, Saturday, it felt a little warmer. Our group is called the 'Flutter kickers' and at least five of us have been attending well over 20 years. We used to meet at the Rambla bar pool then transferred to the Kimrick when the Rambla closed. Keeps our jaws fit as well as other parts!

Wednesday afternoon I go to a bar called the Loft, we call ourselves the WOW club (Women on Wednesday) apart from having a good natter and putting Mojacar to rights, we have a small raffle to support a local charity. Earlier this year we donated about 200€ to a club called Stepping Stones, this club was set up by a lady called Fanny Davies when she became a carer for her husband. It helps people who are carers and perhaps find they are isolated living in Spain. Here in Spain there is very little social funded care.

Thursday morning along with two other people I spent two and a half hours in a bank opening a bank account.When something like this happens I always think back to what my friends in the UK said to me - What will you do when you get fed up of sunbathing? I wish I only had time to sit around in the sun. I find here in Spain if you allocate one day to do one task and you complete the task then you have done well, complete two tasks and that is a miracle. Don't forget most offices, banks, post offices etc. only open in the mornings, so what doesn't get done in the morning well that's it until next day.

Tuesday's daily task was swimming and a visit to the doctors, yes two things in one morning - a miracle. I have been struggling with a painful hip for over two years and have already seen the orthopaedic consultant but he wouldn't operate until I had had another op. The last few months each movement has been so painful I had to do something, so have now been referred back to the consultant.

I am looking forward to a week tomorrow when my daughter comes for a visit, she is only here for five days going back Friday on an early morning flight, so will have to make the most of the visit, I know it will go so quickly. Hope the jelly fish will have disappeared from the sea by then. Must look out some good restaurants as well.

I am still crocheting the blanket squares and have at least 30 to crochet or sew together. I am still making 'the cross in your pocket' should have kept count of how many I have made altogether, must be 50 at least. Both these projects are so easy to do when I watch TV. 

No photos this week must remember to take my camera out with me, I do not have one of these posh iphones or whatever they call them.

Another month has flown by and we are now half way through June. What a hectic first half to the year it has been. I always find this time of the year very busy, so much to sort out before the heat of the summer arrives.
At the church AGM in April I was elected church warden so am now responsible for the fabric etc of the churches.

My car that I bought as a present for my 60th birthday was due its ITV (MOT) at the beginning of the month and glad to say it passed with flying colours. 

My 60th Birthday present to me

Summer is coming and I made the decision to have my hair cut ready for our water exercise class that begins on Tuesday. Friday I went and tried a new hairdresser  to see what could do about the colour, ( I had heard he was fantastic with colouring hair) he didn't disappoint and I like the new colour.

Last month I lost a dear friend Mike, we had had such good times together and he was my partner in crime when I was church warden many years ago. We had been on holidays together, Santiago, Barcelona, Seville - one memorable one was on the Loire canal, when only a couple of weeks previously I had broken my ankle, so was unable to do much jumping off the boat to man the locks, poor Audrey (his wife) had to open all the locks, as another friend who was with us fell in the canal and had to return home. He taught me about bullfighting and we attend many fights together. A service in celebration of his life took place in church and was attended by at least 180 people. RIP Mike you are no longer in God's waiting room as you used to say.

On the weekend of the 16th May we had a visit from the Suffragan Bishop of our Diocese he came to confirm two adult members of our congregation. On the Saturday we had a rehearsal in church, then a few members of the church council met informally with him and shared a buffet supper. It was gone 10.30pm by the time I arrived home, only to be up early next day for the confirmation service. At the beginning of the service the Bishop installed Pam and myself as church wardens, and as he said rightly so, as we are officers of the Bishop. A very busy weekend with mixed emotions.

Myself, Bishop David and Pam 

It is the Moors and Christians weekend here in Mojacar, the festivities started last night and end with the big parade on Sunday evening. I will not be going to see it as I have seen it more than a few times when my family are staying with me. Tomorrow from about midday all along the beach road there will be loud explosions from their blunderbusses (if that is the plural).

I really wanted to do some craft work but have only managed a few greeting cards, some cross in the pockets, and blanket squares for Africa over the past few months. If I carry on like this I will be gone to the craft room in the sky before I use 1/4 of my materials up! NB not to buy anything else craft wise.

Last Sunday I had an unwelcome visitor outside my front door - a rather large hissing snake, think he was the largest I've seen around here. He was caught on a brush handle and delivered back to the mountainside. Hope he does coming calling again.For the full video see my facebook page.

Hissing Sid

Looking forward to two weeks tomorrow when Sarah and Cameron are coming for a few days,they are not here for my birthday this year so will have to put my birthday meal on hold. Hope to go to the Brazilian restaurant again.

Have some good plants in the garden at the moment, must go and check on the cucumbers  and am waiting for the tomatoes to colour. The sunflower looks a little damp after the heavy rain we had this week.

Must away now and sample my gazpacho soup I made earlier.

Oh dear another month has passed, so what have I been doing this month. Well it seems to have been a month of computer and paperwork. Hopefully all is now in order and I can relax a little. 

This past week I have had two Annual General Meetings - one for the church and another for the Dames in Spain. 

As far as the Dames one is concerned I am only a just a member so no work there.

The Church is completely different as I held/hold the position of secretary, but fortunately I am hoping to split the work and have handed over one job as the church minutes secretary and hope the council will agree to this and I shall become the chaplaincy secretary. Here in Spain it takes an age to get official things done, and especially with an organisation, when you are about to sign documents you find the official signatories could have changed owing to a change of position after a year.

I am still hoping to find more (or perhaps I should say some) time to return to my handicrafts. I really must get down to card making as stock is very depleted, and not one Christmas card remains in the stock box.

I have managed to keep the stock going of 'The cross in my Pocket' and seem to sell about 5 a week. I usually make two a night if I happen to sit and watch TV. (Can't watch TV and not do anything or I will fall asleep).

I have also some blanket squares to sew together and I want to knit some little bags that I have seen on the Fish and Chip Babies facebook page. 

Tomorrow I am off to a restaurant for a cookery demo afterwards our lunch is the demonstration goodies! 

Then on Tuesday it is our 'flutterkickers' lunch. This is a group of women who during the summer months do pool exercises, well certainly mouth exercises in the pool! So when the season comes to an end we meet monthly for a lunch, this we find keeps the group together in the winter months.

My friends Terri and Peter are here from the Gambia this week it is so good to see them after so long. Peter was saying he needed to lose some weight and I said likewise so starting on Wednesday we are in competition. I would dearly love to lose at least 20 kilos but I think that is unrealistic so anything would be great. Whatever I lose will only benefit my health and perhaps reduce the pain from my hip. I am looking to go walking every day as the form of exercise. So wish me luck.

Where do the months go? I have not posted on here for ages and reading the last but one post it says my grandson is celebrating his 9th birthday well yesterday he celebrated his 10th birthday - another year gone.
Perhaps I have been so busy doing other things especially for my church here in Mojacar - I am the secretary, worship leader, sacristan and probably general dogs body, but then that is my life and my choice. We recently opened a new Church of England church here is my area of Spain a place called Llanos del Peral at El Cucador, so a great deal of work has gone into making that successful.
My other love of crafty things has taken a back seat and now the monthly card workshops have ceased there is the saying always tomorrow I will get my card making materials out but of course tomorrow never comes.
I do tend to do little things while sitting in the evening and have made nearly 30 A cross in my pocket.

I have also been knitting and crocheting squares for blankets, didn't know if they were still needed but found out last week there are, so will be sewing/crocheting them together and hand them over to the appropriate person. 

My lovely dog Morse died in 2014, aged 13 and I miss him so much, he was always there for me, the worse part is when I come home and drive up to the house and he is not waiting for me at the gate. He had been with me since a little puppy of about 9 weeks, he was one of 6 that had been abandoned. Never knew what happened to the rest of them as they were all sent to Holland.

I still have my two cats and one of them has become extremely close to me since Morse died, she sits at the computer with me, sits on my knee when watching television, and is even waiting behind the front door when she hears my car. When Morse was buried in the garden she even sat on the roof of my car watching. Strange because she was the cat who didn't bother to much with him it was always the other cat and Morse that slept together. No one will ever know what goes on in animals minds.

Believe it or not these two are brother and sister, one is a long hair and the other very short hair, but as kittens you couldn't tell them apart.
