Autumn Crocus on a Rest Day ....

.... after yesterday’s big walk. (Thanks for placing the bouquetin lol on the first Popular Page). These are not in the crocus family but are in the colchicum family and grow in abundance before the second hay cutting in the fields around us.

Extra shows what happens to Preston when he finds a new toy. He now has a “sleeping bag”! I measured him from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, 105cm, big 9 month old kitten.

Blipping late today, lots of telephone calls and visitors. The shocking news of the sudden death of my youngest cousin, only 63, came last night. She was her Mum’s live-in carer. I have been sending love to Auntie Jean who is 93. Fortunately she has lots of family living close by and lockdown has eased somewhat in Britain.
