Kittens

This week the husband and I have been kitten-sitting for his sister. They are very sweet, and we will miss them a lot, but the flat simply isn't big enough to have cats full-time. Here is a picture

Leeds Castle

A lovely afternoon out at Leeds Castle (thankfully in Kent, rather than Leeds). £15/head, with validity of the ticket for the full year means that we can go back again and again.
Yesterday we walked through the grounds (passing a white peacock - stunning) and then had an ice cream, and pottered round the aviary where there were lots of parrots and macaws.
Things to which to look forward:

• Falconry displays (the husband is particularly keen on this)
• Maze and Grotto
• The Castle itself.

So - plenty to do over the next few visits.
