Guten Tag

Advanced cat-flappery

Posted on April 1, 2011 by janh1

Pottering

Posted on March 6, 2011 by janh1

Sunny afternoon, morning bike ride all done (actually quite knackering with heavy rucksack), swimming later so I rediscovered the garden. Always a bit of a novelty, wandering around the modest plot inspecting how things are after the winter.  There was … Continue reading →

Stranger danger

Posted on January 30, 2011 by janh1

Things have changed around here. We’re living in a post cat-flap world. This is a world of muddy little footprints, of having an extra window to clean in the kitchen, of sudden noisy entrances. Leo is at ease with the … Continue reading →
