Kitten

We have got a kitten! She is called Purdy. Here she is with her friend Cranky.

Well, the trip was a great success – we had a lovely time and, most importantly, she said YES!

Here’s a couple of photos – more on Flickr.

Had a lovely trip to Ellesmere this afternoon for bike rides and a picnic. Took a couple of photos – some of which are over on my Flickr page.

Camping

Went camping this weekend in Montford Bridge. Here’s a few photos we took. Comments below each one.

Here’s the inside view of the middle living area of our tent.

This might well be the bridge that gives Montford Bridge its name.

Cantabriggia

Very pleasant trip to Cambridge yesterday, ostensibly to attend Bodies in the Bookshop, a Crime Writers’ meet-and-greet thing at Heffers bookshop. Met up with the ever amiable Simon Kernick who joined Al and me in the Eagle afterwards for some pints and banter.

Took a couple of photos while I was wandering about. Enjoy.
