Meet Grumps

Good morning Grumps.

Although the cottage we are renting came unfurnished, it somehow came 'equipped' with a cat. When initially viewing the cottage, we saw that the tenants had what appeared to be a rather grumpy looking, big, fluffy, grey cat. So when 'Grumps' turned up at the back door one day, we wondered whether he had wandered back to his old home. As it turned out, he has been given to the people that live behind us, so that is okay. Well, okay.... We have both come used to having Grumps around. For him we are walking biscuits dispenser. Yes, he has us sussed and comes round whenever we are eating (breakfast, lunch and dinner, and as we do not want him to feel bad, we give him cat biscuits. In return, he sits on our laps all evening, until we push him out of the door before going to bed (lack of a cat flap).

Who would have thought we would see this scene?

It was only today that we realised he sleeps in our shed, on top of an old washing machine! I guess he does sometime go to his rightful owners, although he does seem to spend a lot of time in our house.
