Japan Diary!

#1 here. I thought I would appropriate the blog for a little while. The news from France is good. Tommy and all the "Chans" are doing well!

There are still a few nice fall colours in the northern island of Hokkaido:



But the main purpose of this journey was to come and see the Percherons in Japan!



Although... where there are stables, there are usually also pussycats!





The white cat was particularly friendly and came over for scritches!

    Thanks to you, #1, I have seen my first Japanese Percheron! Weather permitting will go on a ballade with Percherons pulling some friends and I on Monday. Have some lovely Japanese food for me, love, Tana

    Very nice to hear from you in Japan, #1! Lovely to see the Japanese Percheron in his field, and of course the barn cats are gorgeous...they sure look a lot like the barn cats here!

    Thanks for the picture of the Work Horse. My Mom loves them because her Grandpa used to let her ride the big horses when she was small!

    Thanks too, for visiting our blog and of course, our friendship to you and yours. We love having friends around the world.

    Kisses,
    Stella
