You kept that quiet, didn't you, squash. There's a nice article about you all and a lovely pic of one of your scarecrows with his squash  ;D

Why are you up so early, or haven't you gone to bed yet?

Just couldn't sleep Squash. I had a very busy day on the allotment and went to bed with muscles aching and a very active brain. Ive had the radio on most of the night and had to reach for the computer. What's your story?

I only went to the allotment to feed the cats yesterday but my son and family are staying here for Easter so we had a busy day.  It's a bit hard to switch off isn't it!

I'm always up early anyway, it's just an hour earlier than usual today.  :)

No such luck.

There was a bit about our feral cats in Your Cat magazine once and they did send a complimentary copy.

If you go onto their website, there is a link that allows you to read it on-line. (Guess how I found out?)

Ignore the front page stuff, which tries to get you to subscribe - it's tucked away.
 
Just to add: agree with the others - lovely site and lovely people!
