Custard and Bustard

There is a friendly little semi-feral cat who lives around here that we named Custard.





The old lady that lived here previously, fed her on a regular basis so when we moved in we contuinued the trend, especially as our very own puss Blenny gets on with her quite well.
Then one morning another cat turned up. A big bruiser of a fellow whom we named Bustard (rhymes with Custard). Notice that in every picture he is pulling the same pose.









Since then we discovered that our nearest neighbours who live a mile further on down the track (a lovely couple) feed Bustard, so we don't need to worry about him. We've only seen him on a few occassions, so far.

Before and After

These are some of the estate agent shots of the house before we bought it...











And the mess we made of it afterwards...





Curtains were £8 from Tesco...that's right, £8. Alan laid the laminate wooden flooring in both the living room and the bathroom. The laminate had been left behind, unopened which saved us a bit of dosh.
