Plant-a-cat

When we put those planters up, we had best intentions. So had the Ziggy the cat. But her intentions were quite obviously different to ours. Growing cats? Well, it’s worth a try.

But in all honesty, this cat has a box fetish. The pictures we have of her in all sorts of boxes is hilarious. Big ones and small ones, even waaaay too small ones. 😉

Winter done and dusted

There was nothing extraordinary to write about this winter, really. It’s not been too wet and not too dry, neither too cold or too warm. We had a few frosty nights and a few pretty rainy days but all in all it was reasonably warm and okay from a mud perspective.

Springtime is here

The weather is getting warmer, and the days are stretching out longer, giving us more daylight to enjoy. The rain is slowly becoming less frequent, making way for sunnier skies.

He looks like a deer from the distance, he’s fluffy and friendly, but he’s a naughty escape artist who typically is to be found on the wrong side of the fence.

Frosty Days

The days have become short and cold, with some frosty mornings. Luckily, so far winter has not been as wet as last years.
