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, Ryƫ, in 2023.. We live in rural France, in a region called the Perche, which is famous for its heavy horses.
I'm getting woozy just thinking about it. If you have a chance to sink your claws into the black label extra sharp cheddar, you'll know why I twitch just thinking of it!!!!!
We hope you enjoy your cheese. We are very sure France has some lovely cheeses indeed. But a taste of a far away place is always fun. Looks like #1 is having an amazing trip. Hope she enjoys the remaining days in the states and that the weather holds. We look forward to seeing your sweet faces again when she gets home. Maybe she'll show us more of the horse photos too, if Vidock doesn't mind.
Not long until #1 is back with you all and bringing you shedloads of presents (or if not we think she'll deserve the back of disrespect!) We have never had a taste of that cheese but we like all the ones we have tried. Now then Tommy and The Chans - tidy up before #1 gets home so you'll get lots of kisses for being tidy girls and boys.
