Fishing Cat.

Another grey day today with no sign of the sun. All night a Force 6 gale was blowing outside causing the windchimes to ring melodiously. Very peaceful when lying tucked up under a warm duvet.
I looked out of a window to see Patch, the fattest of our cats, walking across the lawn with a trout in his mouth. He had appeared from the stream next to the house so we presume that is where he caught it. He was so wary of anyone coming near to steal his catch that we had to settle for a long distance shot of him happily crunching away under a bush.


When he had finished, and come waddling in with a fat stomach, the boys found he had eaten all of the trout apart from the tail fin.
Some of our guests left today and the youngsters will be off tomorrow. We are planning to go into town to the New Year's celebrations in The Square,( bands and fireworks), but I'm not sure how many will be going as the girls prefer to stay drawing and discussing the plots of the anime comics that they are making.
