Pennine Way stages 3 and 4

I am off to walk legs 3 & 4 of the Pennine Way this weekend.  It should be good, as long as it stays (fairly) dry.

We pick up near Standedge where we finished last year.

Oscar is still popular at home.

(This is actually a test entry to see if I can email entries straight to the blog).

Settling in

Well, Oscar seems to be part of the family now. He likes to explore around the house. We frequently lose him, only to find him lying in a little comfy spot.
We are trying to keep him out of the bedrooms. he must think that his name is "Oscar no"!

Working from home

Oscar seems to enjoy playing with my ethernet cable. I think that I had better go wireless!......

Video clip of Oscar

I thought that I would try and upload a Quicktime video clip, and see if it works.
Zoe and Hannah were both up early this morning! I wonder if Oscar knows what he has let himself in for?


It seems to have worked. Isn't technology wonderful?

He's Here!

Friday 24th April 2009:
We brought Oscar home this afternoon. He appears to be quite happy in his new home. He has been exploring the kitchen and chasing his toys. He particularly likes the catnip "cat in a bag" toy.

Some photos........

The Night Before Oscar!

Well, tomorrow we bring home Oscar. Everybody is very excited

I think that Hannah will dream about kittens tonight.!

The children have made him a little area all of his own in the kitchen.....

I hope that Oscar enjoys the weekend in his new home. I have made an appointment at the vet on Monday for his jabs!

New kitten!

Well we have got ourselves a new addition to the family! Name is still to be finally agreed, but "Oscar" looks favourite.

We hope to bring him home in a couple of weeks.
