Muttsie:

Visited Hopefield Animal Sanctuary in Brentwood, Essex, with my little granddaughters at the weekend. Seeing a prominent plaque stating Linda's sponsorship, I was horrified to see the state of the place: broken down old stables and deeply muddy tracks. There is no doubting the love and care given to all the rescued horses and ponies, but The Sanctuary is really struggling for funds. Linda would have been moved to tears and to action, had she been able to see it like this. Surely something can be done to help? I fear it sullies her good name as it is.

I have never been there. I sure hope some kind soul(s)will donate some time and money to get it back in tip top shape.
