I was so thrilled when Ruth gave me this award! Thanks so much, Ruth. I'm going to pass it on to Lori and to John. I really love Lori's blog because firstly it's full of horse photos and horse stories but also because Lori just a really special person. John's photos are spectacular and he writes so well too. It's always a pleasure to visit him.

It's catblogging Friday and i do actually have a cat photo! This is Basil, who is now allowed outdoors. He's really enjoying peering in the pond...Basil was really excited to receive his first ever postcard yesterday, from P's friend G who is visiting Colorado! He struggled to read it though, as G has terrible handwriting!!

Joann has given me a lovely award for support and friendship to her blog...I'm really honoured! Joann has a wonderful blog that has really grown in popularity so if you've not yet checked her out why not pay her a visit today? Thanks again, Joann, for my award :)

We had a lovely day yesterday. We went to see the Red Arrows display at Hoylake with the Wildcat and family, then back to their home for a delicious BBQ and lots of good conversation. They are such special people and I feel lucky to know them! it wasn't a very nice day; it was positively ARCTIC by the coast. But now the Bank Holiday is over, I stop hoping for summer and any nice days are just a bonus.


Sorry, I'm not done uploading holiday photos yet!

This busker jumps out at unsuspecting tourists on Fishermans Wharf, just opposite Joe's Crab Shack. He gets some brilliant reactions! This time we saw a woman kick him...poor guy! It's the most novel busker I've ever seen.

Today I'm off to a garden centre to buy some stuff. Hope everyone has a good day.
