I put Marianne through a lot. She grows with affection, her clothes never fit, and she has to hassle with macro insurance. However these things don't bog her down in the slightest. She's still the same warm gentle welcoming mammoth she was before the growth. A sweetheart through and through.

It looks like she's waving to you. Why don't you sit next to her and chat for a bit, she'd love to talk to you about her garden.

It's nice to have a pic of Marianne where she's at peace and happy, it's nice to unwind every now and then. :)
