Give the mog a tickle from us ...we're still grieving for our beloved tortoiseshell, and need to get around to buying a suitable plant for the sunny spot in the garden which was her favourite basking place and we'll put her ashes there.

Our new feline friend, Persia (aka Sausage), has been brightening our lives where possible (Steve's Dad died a week and a day after the tortie, so it's all been a bit dark). She's just gone thundering down the stairs with a wild kittenish look about her so it's going to be another duel to the death with her felt orange fish on a string.
