Here are a few photos which don't fit anywhere else. One of our cat Pablo of course, who is getting a bit arthritic sadly, but still a huge source of pleasure and companionship. One spin-off of the whole loft business was that Kate managed to get all her wool (stored up there for a mere 29 years) sorted out. There are a few photos from art exhibitions that we went to, the Courtauld Collection at the National Gallery and Pierre Bonnard at the Tate Modern. I seem to have chosen quite a few outdoor photos, a fox we saw in the countryside, quite a lot of butterflies this year, a muntjac who raided our garden, a red squirrel at Brownsea Island, a water vole at Fowlmere, and a small selection of Chris's bird photos from a trip to RSPB Titchwell Nature Reserve. There are a couple of photos which continue the mandolin saga, for those of you who have been following it. Basically Mike made it in 1976, and a few years ago it cracked and needed repairing. Since by then Mike had sadly lost his luthier's skills, he enrolled Dave's help (who had been madly making guitars for years!). The final session was this year, and now it's all stringed up and playable! Yay!

A fox on a walk near Wimpole. Not really concerned about us!
On a walk near Pegsdon Hills. Very nice, and we saw loads of red kites. The air was a bit thin at 604 feet...
Kate's flowerbeds looked particularly good this year

Dave sorting out Mike's Mandolin. Well, he had all the tools. And the skill!
It sounds pretty good now it's all put back together. Thanks Dave.
