Our cats and their various activities
BEATRICE HOT-TUBBING IS NOW FRAMED Yesterday the frame for my recent coloured pencil drawing arrived, and I left it unopened until today when my hubby was out all day and I could work on it without fear of interruption. I am very pleased with the result. It is now gift-wrapped and ready for…
COLOURED PENCIL DRAWING - BEATRICE HOT TUBBING When we lived in our old house we had some concrete tubs on our patio, and for a while one of them was empty. Our old cat Beatrice (sadly no longer with us) discovered this and settled down in it. In the warm sunshine the concrete…

VISIT TO THE CAT CAFE Yesterday we visited our local cat cafe, called "Cool for Cats." You can find out more about it here. We got lost on the way (it's in the depths of the countryside) and arrived about 20 minutes after the start of our booked hour, but they allowed us…
