The church walk - September 18th
My birthday last month
I went to feed the ducks and swans with friends by the river and had a good day.

Up the Chimney
Like most cats, Harry dislikes disruption and hated the decorator disturbing his tranquillity.
That evening, I heard a frantic meowing. I investigated and to my horror found he was trapped up the chimney and couldn't escape.
I called a neighbour who was rather incredulous at my story but came to investigate.
He had a bright idea and remembered the houses have a chimney sweep's hatch . He climbed up a ladder and rescued a terrified Harry who was now a grey cat rather than a ginger one.
We retired to bed. By morning Harry was his usual pristine self.
The Lap Cat
Filipos was born a street kitten. He was rescued from a car engine on Syros, Greece.
I adopted him through a wonderful charity. He has proved to be the most affectionate of lap cats.
Sometimes though his desire to always be beside me gets him into trouble,
One day, I was taking a bath. Filipos decided he should be on my lap and leaped into the bath to join me.
The water gave him a shock and he fled dripping down the stairs at such speed that my poor cleaning lady had a fright.
His devotion makes him very special.

A day in the Pennines
I've always felt an affinity with the Pennines and half my ancestors came from the Derbyshire/Yorkshire area.
Yesterday, A and S took me to Holmfirth. It's well known as the setting for 'Last of the Summer Wine. I never liked the show but loved the scenery.

Judge comment
“I love the beautiful expression on Rubens face makes you wonder what he's looking at.”
Though it says Reuben, it's actually Filipos.

The Ginger Boys at twilight.
It's been too hot to post, but here are the Ginger Boys at twilight saying I've not forgotten you all.
Happy birthday Reuben Redfur
My 'wild child' cat turned 5 today and now is a respectable well behaved and rather a plump cat. He still is a law unto himself, but he once a blue moon sits on my lap and purrs. He loves other cats and looks out for the other 3 and is exceptionally clever. He turned up his nose at the toy and Thrive chicken I bought him to celebrate.
