Buds are showing on our apple trees. It is a little cold and the bees, barring the bumbles, have been less in evidence so we may not get any fruit -- we'll see; they are only young trees after all.

She eyes up lofty positions, makes a chirriping type noise and proceeds to clamber to the very top. More rat up a drainpipe than cat....
Shadow, not to be outdone in the 'interesting places to kip' stakes has decided that the deceased and yet to be disposed of standard box is suitable. Watching him settle is hilarious!

| Shadow's 'comfy' perch |
Yesterday we went to lunch with friends Tim & Gaynor who have a house in the next village. Four teachers round a table made for some lively discussion on how we'd like to set the educational world to rights! Gaynor is a fellow blogger and it was lovely to catch up with them. She had made slow cooked pork with lentils and a yummy carrot cake for dessert. What with a salad as a starter and a cheese board too, we were so well fed we didn't bother with supper!

I can just imagine Shadow settling round that trunk...he has an air of 'what a clever boy I am' about the whole thing!
That lunch sounds delicious too...
@Fly - you should have seen him circling before he settled! :-)
it was!
Hello Niall and Antoinette:
How lovely the blossom looks and we do so hope that it will not be taken by a late frost of which we have had several here.
Shadow looks to be wonderfully settled in the pot. Cats really do choose strange places to sit and sleep.
Gaynor's lunch sounds absolutely delicious - making us feel quite hungry as we write this.
Kellemes hétvégét!
@Jane & Lance - no real frosts so far, so fingers crossed. It would be lovely just to get a few fruits on our young trees this year.
Bon Weekend to you too!
We both enjoyed your visit. I'm still pondering the name of the 'big picture' man. It will all come flooding back to me when I get to school on Monday!
In fact Tim is eating the leftovers for his dinner tonight!
I shall be having something really exotic - soup, washed down with a very nice Vouvray! :0))
@Gaynor - nothing wrong with a good soup; especially with a nice Vouvray :-))
I love the new header and your photos are gorgeous. Cats are so very idiosyncratic about where the will sleep or just survey the world. :-) As for the lunch. my mouth is watering, even after my healthy salad....
@Perpetua - thanks!
We don't mind Tinka's climbing too much but do sigh when she has "scaled" the bookcases yet again and leaves a pile of pushed out books in her wake...
How lovely to be able to meet up with other bloggers. By the way have you noticed that some of the words are hidden by the gorgeous photos.
Lovely photos. I have a few flowers appearing in my garden now - but it's still quite cold.
@Lindy - There's a few in our area, some permanent residents like ourselves others with homes here so we get to meet up now and then which is lovely.
how odd! page is not displaying any obscured text just now when I checked.
@AJ - still quite cold here too, have had the woodburner on again.
Your garden looks lovely, and so is the cat in the pot. The only pots we have are the ones which are housing the young olive trees, and which are big enough for the chickens to sit lay eggs in!
@Vera - Like the idea of olive trees as chicken roosts :-)
The lunch sounded amazing, all that lovely food and great conversation what could be better? Shadow looks so comfortable by the tree in her flower pot.
@Cuby - he does doesn't he? And it won't last long as the deceased standard box will be gone soon and I haven't decided what I'm going to put in the pot instead.
Yes, you would think Shadow might choose something else - what is all this about cats loving comfort? :)
@Jenny - welcome :-)
Yes we have 2 somewhat eccentric beasties. What you can't see is that there is a mulch of small pebbles in the pot. Cat logic is completely incomprehensible!
