It's #InternationalCatDay! 🐱 Meet Luna, our neighbour's cat, though she fancies herself the lady of the manor.
In Tudor times, cats were used for pest control, guarding grain stores from rodents and keeping homes clean. Less pampered than lapdogs, but vital for survival.

Today marks 80 years since the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Up to 250,000 people, mostly civilians, were killed, and countless others suffered from radiation. Luckily, to date, nuclear weapons have never been used in war since.
