France 2024

 It's January and we are happily installed in one of our favourite houses along with the company of "His Nibs" as our resident cat is known.  We have been caring for him and his predecessor for over five years and are always glad to be here.





Bearing in mind the fact that he came in from the vines as a fairly feral cat, he has settled in very happily and knows which side his paws are buttered.  However, he keeps very odd hours and we are glad that he has a cat flap!

The year is already filling up with a variety of interesting sits and we are also taking a bit of a break and heading off to Tuscany for a couple of weeks in May.  One of the joys of being based in the Nimes region means that both Spain and Italy are within easy reach.



February/March and here we are with another furry friend 
that we have known since he was a kitten


We made it to Tuscany with the rain hot on our heels!  
Never mind, they  need it and I am sure the Tuscan Sun will return soon.


A distinctly odd April with a mixture of warm sunshine and cold rainy days.


Caring for our two regular feline friends, one who hates the rain and the other who loves it!


That's more like it.  May has arrived along with real warmth.

A new adventure as we drive westwards towards the Lot region to spend a month in a beautiful country property caring for horses/ponies and a cat.


Our view with only the sounds of cuckoos


Such a bright cheery little soul who has taken to us quickly


Back in my happy place with horses


A rather wet start to the stay but results are lush countryside

Now you see it
And now you don't!


I don't know what it is about Jean and cats but they all love him!
