Once again my brother N surpassed himself on Christmas Eve. Last year he made a tapas feast – this year he had a Mexican theme. We were met with tequila and then donned our sombreros. I have been strictly forbidden to put any pictures of us in the sombreros on the Internet – so here […]
This is my all time favourite Christmas picture of the cats “assisting” with unwrapping the presents. They also helped a bit yesterday and Schrodi decided on a new place to sleep – on a cardboard box neatly positioned between two cat beds. Merry Christmas everyone!
This was the field next to our house during a frosty spell last year – complete with snow covered mountains in the background.
