05.11.1996 - 29.09.2012
A sad day yesterday as we buried our very old man cat Vincent in the garden (deep enough and far away enough from the house so he won't be disturbed if any future owners want to build an extension).
I am missing our small four legged pal, he has been in our lives for such a long time. He was never meant to be our cat. A colleague's cat had kittens and we took two off her hands (Josephine and Hercule) but the third tom had a home. Within a few days Vincent's new owners decided he wasn't for them and he came to join his brother and sister with us on New Year's Eve 1996.
He got caught in the door as a kitten and had a 'gammy' leg all his life, he came home one day about ten years ago with a broken tail so held it at a jaunty angle forever more. He survived a dog/fox attack a while ago. We really did think the old chap would out live us all!!
But on Saturday evening a bloke from across the road knocked and called Simon outside, Simon came back with a very dead cat. It appears the man's dog had got hold of Vincent and he was unable to seperate them before the damage was done. Although I am grateful for his bravery in coming to tell us I am so very angry and sad.
It will be nice to leave my knitting out and know it will not end up covered in little soft white hairs and I can leave food unattended knowing he will not sneak in a sample it but I miss his warm weight on my toes at night and miss him snuggling against me in the cold evenings. He has left a very big hole.
Bye Vincent, we will remember you fondly x

Happy Birthday Little Man
Mr Sebastian showed us just how grown up he's become last week when he spent an age snuggling the tiny (week old) baby Jacob;
Last Friday we celebrated him turning three (three, really?!), where has that time gone??
Being three and having to blow three big candles out after the birthday song was hard work, it took him soooo long to blow out all three but would have help from no one;
Happy Birthday my little man Seb x

My New Favourite Yarn
I know, I know, whatever I am knitting with at any one time is my favourite yarn but I was lucky enough to get some of this wonderful Artesano yarn at a not too expensive price. I opted for the super chunky as I had some small winter projects in mind. It feels soooooo nice and the definition and finish is lovely.
I knitted this cowl and it sold within hours of me putting the picture up on the Facebook page :)
Elizabeth knitted this ear warmer affiar (more than a headband but not quite a hat), well she got me to cast on and she knit about ten rows and then got me to finish it and asked me to knit her a flower while I watched Dr Who last night.
I quite like it;
And it looks great on;

Face Fur
Elizabeth played Fagin in a year six final production at school before the summer.
She had an eye-liner beard.
She looked cool!
Together we spent a wet Sunday afternoon during the summer holidays doodling shapes on paper and cutting felt and wrapping wooden kebab skewers in ribbon to create this little amusing set;
Apologies for the bad hair and the double chin, as I said, it was a wet Sunday afternoon!!

Apologies To My Biggest Baby
It seems I am unable to take good pictures of this one, sorry Elizabeth!!
She turned 11 a few weeks ago and is now off to the Community College over the road.
She looks so small in her big and hideously shaped blazer.
I text her earlier to tell her how she missed all the excitement (and swearing) when the exhaust fell off the car en route to the primary school. She thought it was rather funny and text me back at lunchtime to express her mirth and to tell me that everyone looks stupid in their new uniform so she's not alone!
Good luck to everyone else out there that starts the exciting and incredibly scary journey through high school!!
