Doctor Zhivago


A gorgeous pic of Meggie taken while we were out in the snow yesterday. Mum says she looks a little soulful, "like Lara out of Doctor Zhivago". More to follow. The snow's all gone now. We're quite mild and it's all melted away, so I'm glad we got a chance to run around in it yesterday
Dad's doing his "Big Garden Birdwatch", RSPB thing today, so he has to spend an hour looking out of the windows with his binoculars. Down here in Kent we don't have that "where have all the sparrows gone?" thing that has affected most of the country and the London parks. We've got millions. Well - we have once counted up to 77 in all the honeysuckle, jasmine and beech hedge, but not today. Best Dad could do was 16
So you can imaging how popular Felix was this morning when he trotted in with a triumphant look on his face and a greenfinch limp in his jaws. Birds, you want? I got one! Now he NEVER catches birds (too slow and old!) so why he chose today, nobody knows. Not even sure he caught and killed it. Probably picked it up already dead, and is just showing off.
Have a great weekend
