After a weekend spent house sitting and playing butler to my friend's cat, I was very kindly given some lovely thank you presents. One of them was a bottle of Guinness Original, which is one of my favourites.

Caturday: Cats, Antibiotics, and the Great Pill Hiding Struggle
I’m cat sitting at my friend’s house for one night, but I've realised cats haven’t got very good timing! The day before I arrived, Ralph managed to get into a fight. He’s a bit of a Slim Jim, so I think

After weeks of hot, dry weather, rain finally hit the moors today. The ground was damp, the air smelled lovely and fresh, and the heather looked much more colourful. I started my walk on the road, which

It was getting warm outside, but thankfully, not as hot as the last few days. I went for a walk in the woods and the overhead branches of the trees made it dark and cool. It was nice to get some shade
