Isobel heads off to the US for a week
May Miscellany and New Kittens, Brome, Suffolk - 4th May 2025
It's a round-up of randomness as Isobel's off to the US to present at a conference in Rhode Island. Firstly, we do a Sunday pub walk to the Crossways at Scole. Then It's Fred's last uniform day of school, there's a clear-out of the draw full of ten years' of train tickets from the commute to London - probably numbering several hundred - and then Nosher heads off for a bike ride on an almost-summer's day. Later on, the BSCC - Nosher, Fred and The Boy Phil - head over to the Crown at Gissing with a stop-off on the way back at Ampersand Tap. The big event is when Isobel gets back and heads over the field with Harry to pick up two kittens from Pamela, which make themselves at home in the dining room.

The boys are in the garden
There's a nice mixture of flowers outside the church
The boys do some exercise on the way to Scole
Harry limbers up
The boys play games in the Crossways
Fred tries to do a pull up
We're on the path from Warren Hills
Harry trudges around the field
A few of the hundreds of collected train tickets
Some of the more interesting ticket cancellations
Fred's got a tiny caterpillar wriggling around
The wisteria is coming out
Walls are added to the newish patio awning
It's Fred's last-ever day in school uniform
There's an enormous field of oilseed at Wickham
Looking back up the road to Cotton
The road to Wickham Skeith
Fred wheelies his bike outside the Crown at Gissing
Fred and Phil on the road back to Diss Heyward
We stop off at Ampersand for a couple of beers
Kitten A is first to emerge from the carrier
Kitten A looks around
The kitten heads off for an explore
It's time for a sleep already
The kittens have a little wrestle
Lucy - one-eyed cat - comes in for a sniff
Kitten B looks around
Kitten A - the fluffy one - takes a break
Kitten B scales the sizel post
Fred looks at a resting kitten
