I thought you might like to see this photo of the cats in the Retirement Village at Shropshire Cat Rescue enjoying the sunny conditions yesterday. It really has been a beautiful few days this week, chilly but with a lot of sunshine.

How confusing! We get mixed-up seasons here too: it has been a very mild November so far but set to turn wintry over much of the UK later this week.

What exciting times, Janet, and a very timely move, as we will no doubt get colder weather before too long. And Colin will always be very happy to have you close at hand.

Aw, Space Cadet/Ladybug, I remember how you fostered her not long after Lucy-Cat passed away. She was a right little character!

This is such a breakthrough, fantastic news! I hadn't seen this post before commenting on your other post about Pixie curling up next to you. They are both very encouraging developments.

Snow! A reminder that we are coming to the end of Autumn/Fall and Winter isn't far away. It's still pretty mild here, thankfully, it was dry for this morning's Remembrance services, but rainy this afternoon.
