| Claire Rosemary Jane,� Children's Author. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| One question which children frequently ask me is as to whether I have any pets. The answer to that is "No." (Other than some pond fish which I can leave for a while). The main reason for that is because I am away from home such a lot that it would not be fair to have a pet; it would not get the attention that any pet deserves to have. But I do love to ride, and although I do not often get the chance to do so, I take such opportunities as I do have. The picture on the left shows me doing just that, riding Rosie, one of the Morgan horses bred by my friend Liz, at her stables in Michigan, USA. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| I do actually have quite strong views concerning pets, which I stress are my own personal ones and not ones which I would seek to force upon other people. I do not, for example, like the idea of having any pet that has to live in a cage. This is because I think that I can imagine what it feels like to have to live in a cage, to be able to see out, and yet rarely or never be allowed out into the outside world to live a free life. |
