Percy & Our Tie Cards
Here’s Ian showing Percy our fancy new identity cards! Yesterday we went to Merida to collect our new identity cards. These are so much better than the little pieces of paper we had before. I’m not sure how many years…

Nice Photo of Dimrose
Dimrose is a very odd cat. And one of her main oddities is she goes to sleep nose down, so it looks like she’s been sat up and then just fallen asleep and just collapsed forward! However, I saw her…
Daisy and Her Shadow
Percy seems to have very much taken to Daisy and has nominated her as his favourite playmate. It reminds us of Basil and Henry and how they used to play together. We’d see Basil chasing Henry as they would run…
TIE Cards

Hello Percy, Good Bye House Sale

Singing Cheeping Tree
A couple of months ago, I was throwing a ball for Daisy on the patio and the ball accidentally hit the orange tree and a cloud of little birds came out of it. I’m not sure how many there were,…
