We've moved!

Yesterday, two weeks after the sudden death of my husband, Grant, the dog, Skabenga, four cats and I moved. Not into the cottage which Grants was project managing for the landlady. (that was to be a husband/wife situation and occupation) but to a totally new place.

Farmer friends, John (younger brother of my Parkrun partner, Anthony) and Ronnie offered me their little cottage on their farm.

Soon I'll have more photos of the indoors (which looks like a train smash at the moment) and the lovely spacious garden which the animals will romp around in.

Meanwhile, the cats are staying indoors and Shadow is facing-off the pack of  large black dogs in the garden next door! 
 Shadow dozing on the windowsill keeping an eye on the rowdly black dogs next door! 
 Aah, they've gone to bed - the watch cat can relax! 
 This morning Shadow was at his post again. Ambrose took a quick look then jumped down !

I'm linking to Our World Tuesday here

HAPPY TUESDAY TO YOU ALL!

  3. Hi Jo having been away for the past three weeks I have not looked at blogs, I was shattered when I read your blog today. So, so sorry to hear the news of Grant and what a huge shock it must have been for you. I just cannot imagine what you must be going through at present, my thoughts are with you. Take care Diane

  7. Oh, Jo, I'm so glad you have a cozy 'new' place to live, even if it does look like a train wreck right now. I love seeing photos of Shadow and Ambrose who will, I know, provide you with love and attention. I have been thinking back to many of the things you've written about your life with Grant and your pets, and the adventures you and Grant enjoyed together in northern Africa and back home in South Africa with your family.
    Lots of love, Kay
