Over here at A Camera's Country View we have some big news. Not only is today the lovely Rhid's birthday (happy birthday, I love you ♥ ), but we have to make an introduction to you. We have had a new addition to the family, on Friday we brought home a lovely pair of kittens! A little 12-weed old girl, Poppy, who had been found abandoned and an 8-week old boy, Yoda. This isn't going to be a long post as I have to get back to playing with them but just wanted to share the news and tell you a bit about them. Poppy has been such a brave little thing, wandering around and playing a lot. Yoda is far more timid. Unused to his surroundings he hid under the couch for about 12 hours but has ventured out and now they've made friends. To be honest, Yoda was in awe of Poppy from the beginning, following her around and making cow eyes but Poppy wasn't too keen until something happened yesterday afternoon and she just went and slept on top of him! I wasn't going to blog about them, it makes it even more upsetting if something horrible happens but then I thought about all the good things about posting about Kiki. I have all the cute photographs and funny stories documented on here. So I'm giving it another go. I'll come back over the next few days and share some things, tell you what their favourite things to do are and I'm sure there will be plenty of photographs. In the meantime, I'm about to eat homemade raspberry and white chocolate cake ('specially requested by the birthday boy), cook up a storm and play with tiny balls of fluff! I hope that you all have a wonderful day too. |

This weekend was one full of lovely things. Yes the weather was awful again, I'm starting to think that British Summertime is actually worse than British Wintertime, but when you're doing nice things and with people you love it doesn't seem so gloomy. I did lots of work, but the enjoyable photography kind, starting off with sending a few card parcels. I am really enjoying writing little notes to my customers and wrapping things up with ribbon! I haven't even had to queue at the Post Office too long, which is relatively unheard of!
A lot of kitten cuddling was had by all on Saturday morning, after being woken up at 5.30 am and finding shredding toilet roll everywhere! Kiki is fed up with this weather. She sits looking out of the window at the seemingly endless rain, wondering when she will be able to go out without getting soaked through to the skin. She has taken to bringing her friends around to ours instead of playing outside with them. There is Pixie, Jingle and Ginger (affectionately known by us as Gingero), who all clammer to get inside ours. I think it has become some sort of cat motel. They grab a bite to eat and then run upstairs for a kip. Ginger is the smallest, although he has such a huge amount of fluffy fur it is difficult to tell by looking at him. But pick him up and he's all bone and fluff, light as a feather and nervous as anything. He shivers and frets, while all you want to do is cuddle him and give him some love. Kiki, of course, is not too happy about this. She doesn't necessarily want us petting her all the time but doesn't think it is right that we should give out hugs to other cats willy nilly. Probably why she left us a present of shredded paper all over the carpet. As you can see (below left), she is none too impressed by Gingero being shown some affection. 
The church holds about 50 people and only has 3 small windows. It is adorable though, white washed stone walls, beautiful beams. It is so rustic and charming. A total dream for a wedding! If I were getting married here, I'd have beautiful little flowers and ribbons tied to the chairs. In fact, it was sort of my idea that the couple are getting married here. Rhid and I had said that we would quite like a very tiny wedding (when that day comes), possibly on a church on an island in the sea. I like the idea of walking to it in wellies and popping on pretty shoes when I am inside...I was chatting to the groom, a year and a half ago, and mentioned this. They thought it was a brilliant idea and they only live 10 minutes away from this church on Anglesey. Perfect! It's a lovely idea. The views are wonderful; sea, mountains, beach. What more could you ask for?
