    We've called him George - he's been around for a few weeks but we've just assumed he was passing through on his way home - but this weekend he came, he cried until we let him in and he hasn't left since. He wasn't that clean when he arrived, covered in oil and gack but a good feed, a few good washes, brushes and lots of strokes has made him look a lot more presentable. He went to the vets today for a check up - he's not chipped and no one has come forward to claim him, so all the while he wants to stay, he's more than welcome. :T

    Well, as I always believe, pets choose their owners and he obviously felt you were good enough to share his life with. Loving the name and I am sure you will all make lots of lovely happy memories together.

    Hmmm... I'm getting the idea that maybe some people have set their cameras back on that dusty shelf again? :(

    you could be right. I do have some photos but life is hectic. I am also very disappointed to report that the photographic course due to start tomorrow has had to be missed as I have no transport and the public bus service stops from the village to the venue two hours before the course starts. I live in a rural village so cant walk there. I am very disappointed. However I have bookmarked the website and I WILL get some decent photos this year.

    Right then - here it is, a shameless cop-out!

    Look carefully, you will notice that the two at the front are 2011 dates, while you can see several others which are 2010....:o
