Good point Jane. My sister
Posted on Thu, 09 Jul 2026
Good point Jane. My sister is a farmer and my step mother is a riding instructor. People like that have two choices - cancel their work and lose money, or slog it out in the heat.
I'd like to see something in the news about how outdoor...

This is a beautiful way to express an ugly truth, Turlough. Woe betide those who don't fit into one camp or another. For all our civilised ways, society hasn't moved much beyond the tribal. I'm pleased you've found such a welcoming diverse...

Well good on you for doing your bit. There was another cat only 5 minutes walk from my cottage who had the same unusual markings as Knotty, but wasn't so chunky. I asked the lady and she said Gizmo had had a brother they'd given away as a...

I don't bother chasing mice around, pigeons are more fun
Posted on Fri, 26 Jun 2026
