My darling guardians took the opportunity to luxuriate in the extra hour and slept until they woke naturally, such a treat. I have to say, dear friends, there is nought so delightful for a feline of, ahem, a certain age to lay snuggled up betwixt the warmth of my guardians in slumber, quite delicious.
We are enjoying an unseasonable warm spell which my guardians did utilise most assiduously; my lady guardian planted several bucket loads of daffodils, wallflowers and Sweet Williams to enhance our small estate. My lady guardian's late father was inordinately fond of Sweet Williams, indeed, at one time grew them himself thus they were duly planted where he and his wife are laid to rest along with the wallflowers and daffodils. There are however many more to be planted and this will be continued over the coming days and weeks. My male guardian cleaned one of his motorised bicycles until it gleamed. The light, as it began to fade in the late afternoon, gave an ethereal glow to the autumn cloak of the many beautiful trees that are planted upon our own and our two neighbours estates. Such a glorious sight when one really wished to be gifted in the art of painting, however, such a glorious site is imprinted upon our minds eye to remember as the night falls.
Our Antipodean relatives continue their European tour but excitement is beginning to build for my guardians as they will, very briefly, be reunited with my lady guardian's twin sister and husband before they embark upon the journey home. A few brief hours, then they will take their leave, both parties uncertain of when they will see each other again due to professional commitments. This, dear friends, will not be easy but, for now, we dwell on the joy of the anticipated visit.
