Kittens!

I was going to write more about insects today, but that will have to wait... The cats have had kittens!

They were obviously trying to communicate something to us yesterday. The black cat (male) in particular was very vocal.

We had a storm last night - this area is renowned for electric storms apparently. This morning it was still raining, so I did a walk around to check everything was water proof. As I passed the four au pain (bread oven) I heard the squeaks of the new born. The cats had used a cardboard box (appropriately marked "fragile") on the top of a spare display cabinet. We gave them a basket and a better cardboard box. The weather has turned cold again, so we hope they will be OK. There are two black kittens - like the father (in the photo) and one grey like the mother. We can't keep them though - we will put up a notice for visitors.

Well, the kittens were still around and very lively when we visited around mid-June. Maybe they like it there - I certainly wouldn't blame them
