Mar-Apr 2009

March began by parting with what will most likely be the final Starsprung kittens (at least for a good while). These three from Starsprung Skiddaw, daughter of Asia and Vegas. The two pictured had become great friends with FBS, they tolerated lots of "handling" and really played when he waved a cat toy (quite violently) in their general directon. It was sad to see them go, leaving us with our 4 "retired" Bengals, Gaylee Anitra, Tuhina Vegas, Ozalet TuhinaAsia and Starsprung Amazing.

In April we started what will be a long process to hopefully get a new coffee table by taking a chainsaw to the pear tree, more on this in a seperate post (one day!). It had some sort of Fungus that came every year and it gave nearly no fruit. It's been replace by a garden arch to hold the clematis. This will be the entrance to the kitchen garden one of these days.


FBS's 1st Birthday was celebrated with a delicious (if I say so myself) North African Lamb Stew, which he really enjoyed, stuffing himself as normal.

It was a family affair, with MorFar, MorMor and Aunt, uncle and Cousin present. HE got loads of great presents, perfect for long afternoons playing together with Daddy! For the rest of this post, pictures speak louder than words!
