This blog was started in June 2008 by a young sorrel Abyssinian cat called Sen-Chan and a slightly younger English Springer Spaniel called Tommy. The years that followed were full of hellos and goodbyes. Some, like Sen-Chan and Yuu-Chan, were lost very young. Other Abys like Sei-Chan, Bibi, and Genji stayed with us for quite a few years. But they too have gone now, as has Tommy. In the interim, several Percheron horses joined the family, starting with Vidock in 2010, Violette in 2012, and then Hotesse and Heloise in 2020. They contribute to the blog regularly. But the mainstays are Ollie, also an English Springer Spaniel, Tama, an Abyssinian queen who has been with us since late 2008, and Benkei (Benny), a little ruffian who joined us in 2021, followed by Momo in 2022, and another Aby boy, Ryū, in 2023.. We live in rural France, in a region called the Perche, which is famous for its heavy horses.
Ooooh, looks beautiful there! Ms. C says sun is good for the soul, and we could not agree more. She thanks you for your well-wishings, she is feeling much better now.
Your photos are giving Mommy a raging case of Spring fever. Especially the crocus! It's sunny here but bitter cold and the ground looks hard, black and unpromising.
Two very lovely pictures of our two very lovely friends!
For the first time we could "click" your pictures and they opened in another window - but they were as big as in the bloggie. And we desperately, desperately would want to study all the details...

2 Things:
ReplyDelete1. Yes we would like to move to France. We'll be there as soon as we can save up some catnip for air-fare.
2. Tom, that field makes the Lap Lady want to ditch work, go put a saddle on Snap, and go for a gallop!!
