What a spendidly peaceful seven weeks it has been ...
Just Wendy and I and our little family ...
Minnie ..
Weekitty .. our 'orphan of the storm' not yet a year old and not really 'wee' anymore ...
Dowager Princess Chi Qi
The remainder of the peacock tribe (now down to seven)
Big Johnny and the other ten horses
No one could say we have had no company!
And now, 'modern life' is resuming .. and autumn is well and truly here ... the last flowers are soldiering on, until the first frosts .. which may well be tonight ...
And meanwhile, on that other side of the word, which nowadays seems almost mythical, a little foal was born ... he has been christened KURT DES BAUX ... owner: my dear friend Jack Dowie, of Orlando des Baux and Caduceus de Baux fame ... this is 'K' year in France, so Jack gave me the honours ...
And a fortnight later, autumn is heading into winter ...
which doesn't stop the girls of the peafowl tribe plotting and lurking .. Madonna and child? Huh! She Devil and Monsterette ... the garden-wreckers ..
