Tea drinker, band lover, cat wrangler. Like art, books, birds, animals, music, gardening and the North. Usually either too cold or too hot. I live near the moors. It’s all a bit Wuthering Heights.
Enjoy yourself, it’s later than you think.

Been in the old hometown for a short stay. Gobsmacked to see a neighbour’s garden rammed with grapes. I know it was a warm year but 😮.

Hello new friends! I think it is time to share once again the most joyful thing in my life.
You know what that means.
It's cat thread time!
Some of the cats I have sat for this year. Each a tiny cat star!

News about the state of the world in general has become unbearable.
Living in the West feels like being a passenger in a car with no headlights or brakes, speeding down the wrong side of the motorway at night, and the 6-year old driver is in the middle of an intense psychotic breakdown.
