As is customary around this time of year I’ve been thinking about what I’ve been upto during 2010. Unlike 2009 which I thought was rather a waste with nothing much accomplished, I’d say this year has been a lot better. Phew! Highlights of 2010. Danny came to Crete, met my Dad, the cats and saw [...]

The photo above? Well, when I think of “home” I usually think of a bustling Greek town… English towns just don’t look like this! I’ve been home a week now (Home being Crete, Greece where my Dad and the kitties are). Seeing the chaos that the snow has caused in the UK I’m very glad [...]

These boys were the first stray cats to turn up way back in 2003-2004. In the early days they were known as “Big Ginge” and “Little Ginge” but soon got christened Sidney and Edward, Sid and Ed/Eddie for short! Eddie was a proper tom, he would only really make appearances for food and was quite [...]

I’m going back a few years now, back to 2006-2007 when Markie was on the scene. He was Van’s boyfriend/husband – They met when she was a kitten, which we weren’t best pleased about, but one day we saw him walk her home so thought he must be a nice boy to see her home [...]

All anyone is talking about at the moment in the UK is the weather, as we’ve had a rather early snowfall – Usually England gets the snow in February. But I mustn’t complain, I did say I wanted to see snow before I went home to warmer climes! Only a sprinkling of snow where I [...]

Scott came home one October night in 2008. My Dad rescued him when he was seen trying to get onto the road. Dad knew it would end in disaster, a small kitty on a Greek road, so home he came! A week later I had another phone call from my Dad – Another kitten had [...]

This is the late Pumpkin that we carved last week, after buying “him” two weeks after the event! I had wanted to get a pumpkin for Halloween but never got around to it so thought oh well, next year. But then when we were up in Cambridge visiting family/friends we went to a garden center [...]

Carrying on with the cat posts, today I’m going to introduce you to Warren, and because the two are entertwined, we’ll carry on with Cleo’s story as well! This tiny little kitten turned up out of the blue a couple of months after my bestest girl cat Charlie had died. I’d been asked if I [...]

I’ve been badgering Danny to come with me on an “Autumn Walk” to get some photos for a while, but what with Craft Fairs and rainy weather not to mention dog sitting it was tricky fitting it in. But we finally made it this past weekend. Why does Danny even need to be with me [...]
