It's exactly seven years since one of our cats turned up as a tiny kitten in the back yard. So I gave her a tin of tuna with a number 7 in it:

She likes to lick all the juice off it:

Yes, cats seem to like us, and often make considerable efforts to get in the house with us. We took her to be neutered, which she wasn't very pleased about, but overall she's not had a bad life so far.

It's Sunday, so got up late, like at lunchtime.
Weather dry and sort of sunny.

Never seen so many red berries on our holly tree.
I've tried to take a decent pic of it but for some reason it ain't working well. But I have yet to get one out of the camera, I'll see if I can work one and put it up.

The grapes on our grape vine are getting ripe so of course all the birds are very interested in them now!

and that concludes Stan's Nature Notes!:):)

(Don't often do that, need a lie down now!);)

Lots of berries may signal a harsh winter

I'm not so sure the plants can predict the weather. Even with much observation, satellite and radar data and supercomputer modelling the world's major weather forecasting bodies struggle a bit. I think what they're doing is responding to last year's weather. I'm not sure what it was doing in Dorset, but in Wales we had quite a lot of hard frosts and snow. The hand pump on my well was frozen solid more often than not, and I've put some pictures on here of the countryside looking pretty and sparkly in the snow. Plants adapt to this kind of thing - after all, imports from Australia don't keep trying to come into leaf over the winter; they tune themselves into the local conditions.

I'm sure you are right, but we made sure that we bought our fruit bushes from Scotland to ensure hardiness at 600 metres in France. We have not been disappointed they have done brilliantly.
Our fruit trees, plums, apples cherries etc etc we also bought in the UK but this time from the middle of England, again most of them have done well especially the apples.
I think there is a shed load we don't know about the animal and plant kingdom.

Is that legal?

With a lot of nursery stock you can get 'plant passports' to cover movement within the UK and phytosanitary certificates, so some movement between countries is permissible. Some of the stuff I planted last winter in Wales had labels on the packaging indicating that it had been raised in Holland for example, although I bought from a local nursery. Following ash dieback, things seem to require a lot more documentation nowadays

Different in what way? Not that I know much about them. I thorrt they were a simple 4x4, a bit like a Rav 4 but I am not in the slightest "up" in modern cars. I have people I know who use Jimnys and they rate them.
