OK, so. This is Fagan. It's a pretty apt name really as he is a complete vagabond. He weighs the same as a toddler, ie..he is a MONSTER, taking up two of the kitchen chairs when he sleeps. He's a silver spotted pedigree Bengal. (If you want to see what the breed like in action, just scroll down and type 'benal cat' into the search box on the Youtube gadget on the right of the screen. Beware, you might be transfixed for hours!)
Anyway, both Fagan and Little Lady needed a new home, and willing slave. They have settled in very well with no problems. Fagan is a male neuter, 18 months old. Eat? He gives the word a new definition! I have them both on a dry 'indoor cat' diet which is supposed to reduce the smell of their toilet by 60%. The house is sweet smelling at the moment so we can only hope it stays that way. He loves to play, stalk his companion and sleep my duvet ALL DAY!
Below is his girlfriend Little Lady. That was not her name before but that's what I all her as that is just what she is! Delicate, gentle, demure - like chalk and cheese with the bruiser above! She is a snow bengal x siamese. She is two years old. She not long ago had kittens when she belonged to the previous owner. So my aim is to build her up a bit. This means feeding them apart so that she gets a look in. Dried food, plus chicken and fish is what she likes. She is a sweet natured cat, loving and cute. Excuse the red eye of the flash - she has the most deepest blue eyes in reality.

Bengal cats
http://www.bengalcat.co.uk/
I have just come home with two cats! One is a silver spotted Bengal neutered male of 18 months and the other is a snow bengal x siamese female of 2 years. I decided last night after some consideration that the house wasn't a home without a cat. I used to breed foreign shorthairs which are solid coloured siamese cats.
Both Fagan and Little Lady are currently 'settling down' in the kitchen and may be on my bed tonight! Photos to follow.

Aghhh! While updating the layout of this blog, I lost my list of craft suppliers. Sorry folk...I know some of you loved it. I will try to rebuild it but it will take time. I am starting with Lisa's site collagestuff.com. Lisa is hosting a vintage Paris book page swap in the new year. check out her site for more details ..
Great work Lisa!

A jay at the bird table

Here are two types of birds that have recently been seen from the garden. The green woodpecker (top photo) was in a tree at the back of the garden a week ago and the jay was actually taking food from the birdtable this morning. I've never been so close to a jay - the bird table is about 3 yards from the kitchen window. Sea gulls have now started to come in their scores for the bread I put out, and they frighten away some of the smaller birds.

Brussel Sprouts!
I don't know about you but I HATE brussel sprouts! But here is a recipe with orange and ginger which I had at a friend's house once. I'm going to try it myself tomorrow. Here is the video of the recipe - it's dead simple!
