Quote

A bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note, a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of seedlings, an empty scent bottle for the children. . . . Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?

Sisters share the scent and smells... the feel of a common childhood.

Cats can work out mathematically the exact place to sit that will cause most inconvenience.

A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.

Horses lend us the wings we lack.

Friendship is not diminished by distance or time, by imprisonment or war, by suffering or silence. It is in these things that it roots most deeply.

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.
Pam Brown
Image
Sisters never quite forgive each other for what happened when they were five.

A horse can lend its rider the speed and strength he or she lacks - but the rider who is wise remembers it is no more then a loan.

The trouble with sharing one's bed with cats is that they'd rather sleep on you than beside you.
Pam Brown

Bears being sent through the mail should never be squashed up to make them fit. It gives them indigestion.

Integrity rings like fine glass. True, clear, and reassuring.

Give a pup a home and a little love and he will give you his heart forever.
