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.
It's been nice and toasty 'round here lately. So much so that mom and dad, with all dad's new free time, have been darkening out on the deck while absorbing book after book after book. They're starting to look like a couple of roast turkeys.
The temperature will be getting better at the weekend here also. Hopefully we will be able to enjoy the sun this weekend without freezing at the same time!
Those warmer temps are due here next week too - maybe even 80!!! But today we actually have a freeze warning - lots of rain all day and the temps are in the upper 20s. We like the cold, but not the wet.
After a rainy and super windy Thursday and Friday, our weekend looks to be sunny as well. We would like temps better than 7C,but we'll take it ;) Purrs,Georgia and Julie
oh we hope for a sunny weekend too... what are your plans? we think we will stay at home LOL
ReplyDeleteIt's the opposite here - we'll probably be having rain by then! So I'm hoping to go outside today while I still can.
