Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers. I hope you all have a great day.
Do check back to last week's chat for OG's gorgeous wildflower garden pics And Lynette's pics of Dunedin & Hampton eaglets.
Linda - I love your pics of Tatton Park, especially autumn.
Alan -24 handbags!!!! Must be related to our Dau#2 who collects shoes & handbags. Me, I have one all-purpose go-everywhere shoulder bag. Plus the gold one OH gave me decades ago and saw the light of day at the weddings.
Brenda, Linda, Lynette, Joan, OG - On my first trip o/s I had a list of what to take. It helps remind me not to forget vital things like eye drops, film (nowadays it is memory cards & battery charger!). When I returned I noted what I didn’t use and now I check the amended list, pruning every trip. Why drag excess around? Invariably my room in B&Bs was on 2nd or3 rd floor. Besides I may buy things, such as jumpers - that’s my weakness. Stupid really because I knit them and the wardrobe is bursting. So, OG, I shall choose one of them. And camera almost lives in said all-purpose bag!
Joan - I heard a story of a local teacher who had 7 children in her class named "Amy" but all spelled differently.
Lindybird...What a lovely photo of them both, Lymm is a lovely part of the country.
I will put some photos on of the boys. A year ago this Month, Archie was coming up to 2 years of age, he had to have his back leg amputated, we will never know how it happened (the boys are mostly indoor cats, although do go in the garden when we are at home, I get paronoid living on the high street, even though its a small ish village) We were told by the Vet, that his Femur was completely shattered, we were given a choice whether to pin the bone, but the chances of success were very slim, (plus having to keep the cat in a cage for 12 weeks) then amputation was the only option, plus taking into consideration he was a young cat and animals do adapt well with 3 legs. I will say it wasn't easy initally, plus I cried buckets when we were told, but the team at the Vets were fantastic and we couldn't thank them enough. What irritated me more, the amount of folk that asked the Question 'wouldn't it have been easier to have Archie put to sleep' All i can say is they aren't animal lovers and just don't understand the feelings you have for your pets, the cats are our family...Sorry to go on :-(
Thank you Tiger!!! I think the penny finally dropped!

Joan Here you are or my original instructions.
I kept a note that they are on Page 24!!!!! - must go and serve dinner! Bye!
Bettyboo you go on as much as you like. We're all the same on here. It's a great place to let off some steam when you need to. Cats and dogs seem to adapt so well on 3 legs. It's amazing really. Good for you.
Sheila how lucky you are to be able to see all that from your window. Is the Partridge still using the window box?
Patriciat how are you?
Oska in his favourite place
bettyboo Oh that looks great. Is that a first?

Yes, one popped up to say hello today and it was standing on the windowsill between the window and the box, rather than in the box. It seemed as bemused to see me as I was to see it. I must remember to top up the sunflower seed! Sadly, I am sure it won't nest in it.
