Close to home

Pensive and poised

Sitting pretty...

Knitting, stitches and a pair of whiskers....

Our cat in residence big Tilly has found out where I keep my knitting projects, oh dear! I only hope she will not unpick too many stitches!

Looking in-through the frosty window series

Garfield is on the roof , again...

Tilly and the feather

Hilarious Tilly! I am not sure whether she has realised she has a feather stuck on her mouth. She looks at me very dignified and poised , wondering why on earth I am giggling away and yes, taking yet again more photos of her,...by now she thinks I am a very annoying paparazzi!

A giraffe in St Marks Square

...in Italy it is almost carnival time, and during the carnival in Venice it is quite easy to bump into a giraffe in St. Mark's Square. I took this photo a few years ago while enjoying the surreal fun of the Venetian carnival.

Let me introduce you to Tilly

She is always on the lookout for anything edible, she is a small scale tiger, a true hunter. I think she is the reincarnation of a rubgy player: when she sees someone walking, she starts running and in her own way "tackles", by crashing into the person's legs! Once she did "tackle" me while I was crouching to take a photo, needless to say that she crushed onto my "derriere"! She is such a character!

Let me introduce you to Garfield

one of the lucky residents at Pat's farm. Garfield is so funny, inquisitive and enjoys being around people, he is such a softy!
