So yes then! It looks like a great place to be in the warmer months.

I've written the full story of it in a thread in 'Anything Goes'. It's even quite nice in the winter too - the weather's always doing something interesting and I enjoy getting trees in the ground in the dormant season. Even on hot days in the summer you get a little breeze so it doesn't feel as oppressively hot on sunny afternoons in July as it does in sheltered areas.

I just found it, wow 67 pages!! It looks like a great place to get away from it all.
 
Yes, animals display a good deal of agency in these matters. They decide which humans they want to make themselves agreeable to, in the hope of being adopted.

I've often noticed that when I walk around in parks or other open spaces, other people's dogs come and trot alongside me for a while as if they're trying me out for size. 'I'll just see what it's like to go for a walk with this person'. Sometimes it's difficult to get them to go back to their original owners when I want to leave.

I have the same trouble with cats

Well, I didn't set out to clog up a Land Rover forum with hundreds of posts about something totally irrelevant, but a number of people were kind enough to show an interest so I kept on pecking away at it, and put a few pictures up every time I do something. At the moment I'm getting trees established, and when I retire I hope to grow more of my own food and maybe restore the remains of the old farmhouse.

Yes, that's how we get ours. They turn up and meow at us outside the house, and look in through the windows at us until we start feeding them.

....this isn't going to end well. :oops:
She is on about a new kitchen. Just won't let it go. :rolleyes:
I know its about £20k and I don't see the point at all. It won't improve our life or health in any way, it will just look nicer.
It won't add function and the current layout is the optimum for the 4 doors in the kitchen.
It has caused raised temperatures and voices and I have said "do what you want as long as you are paying for it, because I am not."
Bonkers! o_O
She is just like her insane mother, gets an idea in her head and just won't let it go. Totally unreasonable to the point of getting all sulky. Grrrrrrr. :mad:
 
Morning All. :D
I think my darling "Scratchy" cat is on her way out.
She is very subdued and not eating as much as usual.
The vet said her kidneys were infected and gave us some strong penicillin tablets to force down her (traumatic for all concerned).
No sign of a Pee or a Poo for 2 days.
Last night she asked to come into the bedroom and slept on me and gave me lots of loves. :)
I feel very sad. I know how this ends and I don't like it one bit.
She will be my last ever cat I think. :(
Anyway, have a good day everyone. :D
Can't like this.
so sorry, for both her and you.:(:(
