I am seriously fed up with this awful weather. We came home from Italy all suntanned, relaxed and happy, albeit somewhat jet lagged from the journey, to nothing but rain, cold and shortening days. We are now lighting the fire late afternoon, drawing the curtains before 8 and generally feeling down. One bright spot that eased our return to Scotland was an email we received while we were away, thanks to Mr FF's special Blackberry type device that unfortunately also keeps him in touch with business. It was a request to feed the lovely Peaches for about 10 days when we got home and this beautiful photo was attached. 
That is exactly where she is when we call round, the minute she hears the garden gate open she bounds to the front window to tell us she is hungry. We haven't been able to sit out in the garden this time, too cold and damp, in fact often its been raining so hard we've driven up to the cottage rather than enjoy our usual early evening walk but we have had lots of fuss and cuddles indoors. 
So now we've given Peaches back to her family, its still raining and that house in Italy is empty. If only Mr FF didn't have a full time job.

What a lovely photograph, reminds me of the painting 'Cat in cottage window' which is in the Laing gallery in Newcastle.
ReplyDeleteDo take a look if you don't know it, I think you'll be impressed!http://tiny.cc/DCcal
Sorry that the weather is rotten but at least you do have a darling little cat to perk your days up for a little while!
Such a pity about the dismal weather... We've only just got rid of gray skies and rain ourselves today...Wish I could send you some sun! :o) But a good kitty cat cosy on a cheerless days makes it brighter... Peaches is sooo lovely! Happy Day, Jenny ((HUGS))
ReplyDeletei could do with some rain. let's trade!
ReplyDeleteOh I like your blog! Thanks so much for dropping into mine, might just have to follow you, for a while at least, if you don't mind. There is something gentle and welcoming and relaxing about it, and lerve Peaches!!!
ReplyDeleteThat image...and Peaches...she's adorable!! I can imagine how much you're missing Italy right now, but we've been noticing the turn in weather as well. Perhaps not as much as you but it's sad to see the days shorten. Soon I won't be walking in rubber slippers in the house anymore, but rather my fuzzy bunny rabbit house slip-ons! With heavy socks!
ReplyDeleteBless her! She's got a lovely colouring. And she obviously loves being with you two.
ReplyDeleteAgree about the weather. It's been freezing here - 9 degrees last night. Ridiculous! I'm crocheting in front of the fire already.
Peaches is so so gorgeous! How lovely that she enjoys your company so much. We must have kept the best of the weather down in Nrfolk. It's been lovely here all week. It usually is as soon as school begins.Hope it brightens up soon for you. Ros
ReplyDeleteHopefully the rain has stopped where you are(we've had a couple of days of sunshine and blue skies). Sounds like the lovely Peaches has been working her magic again.
