The Leaves Have Begun To Fall

We have lots of very large trees surrounding our garden - none of which actually belong to us, there all in neighbouring gardens. Every year the inevitable happens and we spend hours raking up leaves. Good things come out of it though as we bag them all up and chuck them behind the shed and the next year we have our own mulch for the flower beds and veggie patch.

Trick Or Treat

Could not resist having another play with Hollie's kit All Hallows Eve (see last post for links). The spooky house is actually a photo I took of Whitby Abbey (features in the book Dracula).

In Memory Of Our Gothic Days

Saw this kit from Holliewood studios and knew I had to have it for halloween pics. Couldn't resist having an early play with it though. The photo is Kev and me when we were in our late teens. Love Kev's gothy wayward look here, very Bob Smith. Fabulous kit Hollie had great fun with this.

Update on the Boys

Well the boys have settled in very nicely now. They are keeping us all entertained with their mischievous antics. They are still getting used to the rest of my family but as their principle can opener they have both become quite attached to me. George is a bundle of affection, happy to sit on my lap and wash my nose. Eric is a bit more reserved, and though he still backs away sometimes he is now loving sitting on my lap and has a huge purr. He shadows me at all times and seems quite distraught if I get away! They eat like a couple of rapidly growing boys, which of course is allowed cos that's what they are. Though they love a rough and tumble play fight, they are very well behaved towards people and they do not bite or scratch intentionally. They haven't ventured outside yes as we have been advised to keep them in until after they have been neutered, and I want to make sure they know where home is first anyway. They now have their collars on, which will be essential when they do go out - being black cats they will need reflective collars, even though they will be kept in at nigh, winter is just around the corner really, and the nights will be drawing in.
