Home again ...

... cats still alive, house still standing and we will be living on water and lettuce for the next month-and-a-half.
More laters ... this will have to tide you over.

Mr Brown, the tree whisperer (yes, he is in the pic)*

Taken with his blackberry, which I'm clearly not very good at driving, nice big tree though - well, that or Mr Brown is actually a dwarf! You choose.

* His claim, not mine, and on the very same day he told me he was psychic, patently not true ... so I think a grain or 2 of salt is in order.
