“It’s good to be prepared,”agreed Susie.
“Yes, I’m prepared, not so sure about the garden birds though. I’ve
just come out to feed them, are the tortoises all right?”
“Yes thanks, I checked them, they’re still hibernating.”
Susie smiled, but as she did so, she noticed that the shiny black,
precious gem stone was missing from the middle of Nanny Dot’s
brooch.
“Did you know that the black gem stone was missing from your
brooch?” she asked.
“Oh no!“ replied Nanny Dot sadly, ”It must have fallen out when I
went to the Post Office yesterday, and will probably be lost in the
snow now. My Harry bought me this brooch 50 years ago.”
“Firefighter Mark may be able to help, his dogs, Amber and Ash,
found a neighbour's wallet once,” suggested Susie.
