Hirsute Pursuit

Urchin gets very excited when the fishing line comes out. She recognises the clicking noises the reel makes (which is inconvenient because my ipod makes similar clicking noises) and just loves it when Paul casts for her. She'll play this game for hours.

Picnic blanket

Yesterday we had some lovely sunshine with a real promise of summer - so out came the picnic blanket and a couple of excellent Sipsmith gin & tonics. Urchin felt that the blanket was appropriately comfortable for a cat.

Summer delights

Urchin was delighted when her favourite parasol was put out on the lawn again.

She settled into her customary position underneath it immediately.

Now where are the birds? They will never see me under here.
