We got quite a good deal trading in our scruffy Sarah for a new, more slimline model:
No, not really — she’s the same dog, I promise!
I just decided that spring was definitely here and it was time to shed our winter coats. Pretty, isn’t she!
The first rays of spring sunshine…
… can make a kitty go a bit bonkers!
Cosmo is wondering what on earth is going on.

It seems that the weather has turned and with the changing of the clocks to summertime, we are inevitably headed for spring. But last week, we had some wonderful sunny, glittering, icy days, as if winter really wanted to go out in style.
(Can you tell I love frosty branches?)
Bye winter, I’ll miss you!
What!?
You mean to say it’s the middle of March and it’s STILL snowing out there? I’m starting to get interested in the outside world now, but as soon as I stick my nose outside the door I nearly freeze my whiskers off!
Oh well, I guess I will just cuddle up to this warm lump here in the meantime. Wake me up when it’s spring!
Picture a lazy weekend morning…
Reading the paper wrapped up in a woolly blanket…
With some lovely visitors come to stay for the day:
A leisurely breakfast of blueberry-cranberry scones* with jam and a big mug of Earl Grey…
And a spot in the sun!
Actually this was a couple of weeks ago already, sigh… Wish we had time for more mornings like that!
