I'm heartbroken to have lost my gorgeous boy Alfie very suddenly last night. Without any warning he went into some distress, likely a heart attack or stroke, and passed in under 10 minutes. He was 13 y/o and in great health. It's only 2 months since his adoptive mum passed and week since Bumble πŸ’”

The atmosphere on Bickerton Hill was pretty eerie yesterday with the persistent fog that had blanketed the region. It felt good to go there and walk about for a bit to clear my head after being cooper up at home over the Christmas break. #Cheshire #sandstonetrail #fog #walking

My view of the end of Totality during the 8th of April 2024 solar eclipse. I was staying with a family friend in Lakeway, TX for this event as I had flown over from the UK to see this. The forecast was hit and miss throughout the day but we were incredibly lucky to get a break in the clouds 🀩

Have Bridget in your hearts tonight. She was PTS today because she had reached the point where I couldn't, in my right mind, keep her going. I'm absolutely devastated to have lost her. She was the most snuggly and affectionate cat you could ever meet and her absence is tearing a hole in my heart πŸ’”

I'm pretty glum today after having to leave my elderly cat Bridget at the vets. She's been refusing food for two days and has been bringing up yellow bile. The vets will be taking a full bloods profile, rehydrating her and performing a scan tomorrow on her abdomen.

Here's a photo I took at Fagradalsfjall in August 2022. I flew out 3 days after getting back from a family holiday in Greece whilst still suffering from the lingering effects of food poisoning (thanks to the hotel breakfast pancakes πŸ₯ž 🀒) Totally worth it though πŸŒ‹
