Snowy garden

Here are some photos from our garden and neighbourhood this morning (at about 8am):


The photo belows shows the holes in the garage roof through which Chatouille fell on Wednesday. Luckily, she did not hurt herself.


Our tiny apple tree, covered with snow. We noticed its first buds on Friday afternoon.

Cycling through Warwickshire

We had a nice cycle ride a couple of Saturdays ago. Chesterton windmill has now been repaired for a while, after the sad accident in 2006 when it lost its sails. (and someone was injured)


We also crossed several times the Grand Union Canal which links London to Birmingham and has 166 locks.


And here is a view of Long Itchington:

Warwickshire countryside

We are going to have a kitten!!!!!

Last Saturday we went for a bicycle ride towards the South/South-East to some stables where the kittens were born on 8th May. They are really cute little things and it is going to be really really hard to choose one of them. We have not decided yet.

There are some wonderful views and on the way back we took a different route, not so hilly (I think this is the reason why Trave wanted to ride back that way!) and we could see the hills and Chesterton windmill. And then we passed this beautiful view of a hill with a tree on the top and some sheep grazing on the grass. Outstanding. Trave took the picture (I suspect this was an excuse to rest for a bit!!!...)


You may have gathered that Trave lacks training these days. The nice weather is coming back so we shall try to go for weekend rides more regularly again.
