Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Folks!

I've spent the last two days mostly in bed, wrapping parcels. I wish I'd taken photos of the ones I did for John's Mum, one totally over the top with feathers, the other very small and tasteful, decorated with a tiny red braid with blue and white hearts on it. That one was finished off with a miniature gold luggage label as a gift tag. We gave her the parcels yesterday when she visited with Helen and David.

Meanwhile, the Christmas Rats were investigating some of the parcels.....



... before snuggling up for a final snooze with their friends the Christmas Cuddlies before they get wrapped up. You'll be relieved to hear that the kittens are staying with mother cat. Bagpuss seems to have fallen asleep again and toppled backwards. Maybe he's been at the brandy for the Christmas pudding!



If you look hard in the top left of the picture you can just see Rescue Kitten* peering round my pillow to see what all the fuss is.

*He was a gift last Christmas. You donate in someone's name to the Cat Protection League, and you get a kitten cuddly to give to that person.
