The tree outside Ralph's window is budding beautifully...it will be covered in white flowers again this year and then we will have the dubious joy of orange berries, which look very nice but leave orange stains on the carpet when they get walked in the house. I shall have to introduce a strict code of feet wiping, which will apply to all who enter...especially Ralph :o)

Just too far...

Sometimes, he just can't make it to his window sill...

Visiting Grandmas One and Two...

Ralph had a busy weekend visiting both his Grandmas.

At Grandma Number One's...


he had lunch at the Fitzharris Arms, Abingdon (someone, please take this on and return it to its former glory) and caught water from a hose pipe in Grandma's garden (no picture, sorry)...

...and at Grandma Number Two's...


...he walked along the towpath...

...of the Grand Union Canal...

at Blisworth...


...as far as the Blisworth Tunnel...


...and this, in the Legmans' Shelter...a shame it's there, but at least it's well done.


Packed and ready to come home :o)

Shiny boy...

He really will sleep anywhere...



...and heeeeeeeere's Ralphy!
