Another Kitten, Feather and Flowers
The kitten I showed you yesterday left home and went to live with daughter no 1. This one stayed at home and here he is at about 12 weeks and 6 months.
A feather turned up on the carpet. How? I don’t know but I do love the delicacy of feathers.
The white Cosmos flowers are still going strong despite the wild winds and heavy rains.

Kittens, Kittens and Kittens!
We are in a household full of kittens, only four in face but when they race around, the house feels full of furriness. They are Maine Coon kittens, only twelve weeks old but already the size of a small cat rather than a kitten.

Snowdrop, Horses and A Grand Piano
I spotted our first snowdrop today – perhaps Spring really is on its way. We had some sunshine today too.
The horses were in the back field again today. We haven’t seen them for a while so were very pleased to see them back. You can also see some of the very welcome sun on the grass and the hedge.
Taking down my birthday cards today, I thought you might like to see this rather special one – a grand piano! Isn’t it just exquisite?!
Thank you P&V
More Lottie Loveliness and Elephants
I walked about the allotment this afternoon and found more lovely splashes of colour. 
It’s International Elephant Day today. I love elephants, a love I shared with my dear, much missed, friend Angie. A few years ago on a special holiday in South Africa, the lovely Mr S and I came across a herd and enjoyed watching this youngster.
A Day of Cats
Hector the Station Cat was much loved by all travellers and there is now a planter in his memory. Click on the red link to see him at work.
I love this little plaque that was my Mum and Dad’s, then ours and now is in our daughter’s house.
Wilson, the Maine Coon kitten.

Spring is Coming
Just a little video today, taken over our back wall, for you to watch and listen to. I hope you enjoy it.
Six on Saturday – From Our Garden and In Our Garden
I will get around to showing you our garden but I am so excited about the twin lambs born in the field behind our garden, just this afternoon! There were already one pair of twins and two singletons but these are brand new! What could be more beautiful than that?

2. We have bought some instant purple, white and green for my Suffragette garden, Violas to be planted when the storms have passed. There are also two Lavender plants waiting to be planted in pots to be on the steps up into the garden, to welcome people with their scent. I’ll show you both as they get into their permanent homes.

3. Talking of scent, we borrow the scent of this amazing tree from next door but my neighbour is away so I can’t ask her what it is. She will know – maybe one of my Dear readers can help.
Wonderful scent – what is it?
4. Our Clematis Armandii is full of flowers and quite delightful. I did expect scent from this too but it is quite elusive. I am intrigued though by the blooms, some of which have four petals, some five and some six!

5. There are buds on our Atlantica Glauca Pendula which we are training to form an arch as one goes up the aforementioned steps into the rest of the garden.

6. I love the brightness of this Narcissi.
