Well thanks to bit of gentle arm-twisting from friend Carol Wilford, last night saw the arrival of another four-legged friend at Talraz, this time a nine-week old kitten, half Maine Coon half enterprising local tomcat.

Still nameless at the moment, this little chap has tons of self-confidence, having been brought up amongst Beardies, and seems to have taken the long journey from Anglesey to Yorkshire fairly much in his stride.

Photos will be posted soon.
