Hello 

 

Let me introduce myself. My name is Vina I’m a 13-year-old Lakeland Terrier (that’s 91 in dog years!)

I live in the Yorkshire Dales and absolutely love to go for long walks in the beautiful countryside, eat treats and have plenty of naps. I’m not very keen on wet days and bath times though! I love to find a sunny spot during the summer for a snooze, and I’ll take the best spot by the fire in the winter!

So, now I’ve told you a little about myself, I’m inviting you to write to me and tell me all about the things that matter to you. It could be anything, from gardening to baking, from the last book you read, to your favourite TV shows, from what you did this week to family matters. Maybe there’s something on your mind you need to share?

Dear Vina is a new service to help you Free Your Mind through letter writing. It offers a safe place to write to, with original, handwritten replies from our lovely team of volunteers, who will carefully read through your letter and respond with a genuine, friendly reply.
