November has arrived, and here it was with an onslaught of heavy rain and high winds. The rain woke me in the night, hitting the window with force, and I could hear the trees being tossed around outside. With the return of light, I looked out on a 'snowfall' of sodden golden leaves twirling and dancing to the wet ground. The rain gave way mid-morning and the wind dropped to a more gentle rustling of the trees. I have so many leaves to rake up - its almost impossible to keep up with right now!
Last week was such a busy week. I've been in my job for nearly 8 months now, and I think it was the most sustained busy week so far. I was shattered every evening. I had little energy for anything in the evenings, and the only baking Ive done all week- yesterday- is some simple scones. My washing pile is high, the garden needs more work, and I just havent kept up well this week.
Yesterday afternoon took a turn for the better though, with an impromptu trip out...
you will have seen on my previous post that we have a new family member. how gorgeous is little George? He has quite stolen all our hearts away already! there is no real story behind his arrival- very simply, he needed a home and we have provided one for him.
My son had seen an ad for homes urgently needed for kittens. I have been kitten-broody for ages. Some of you may remember me saying when we moved house ..new home, new baby!! well in just 2 weeks time we have lived here for a year, so I have been quite restrained really, waiting this long!!
The other 5 cats are a little disgruntled, they have hissed and spat, and then run away! there's no real aggression towards this tiny interloper though- and it will soon settle down. Sammydog, however, is overjoyed and so excited by this turn of events! He is so sweet, absolutely smitten with George and he cant take his eyes off him, wagging and wagging and so happy. Harry is quite interested, and a little scared too, lol, - but soon dismisses the kitten at the rustle of a food packet as usual!
It will take a few days/week for them all to get used to each other, but I am confident it wont take too long. they are all such lovely animals, very loving and good with each other, george will soon become accepted, and then let the fun begin!
a few more pics to make you all sigh!...
making friends with sammydog
inside my daughters collar!
hopefully over the next few days and weeks I can begin to show pics of him curled up with the other cats etc! I am confident it wont take long!
Other nice things this week. A workmate gave me 5 1L size kilner jars- wonderful! Sorting out her loft, she came across them, wrapped in newspaper dated 1972!, and wondered I could make use of them! a very kind thought, and a really useful gift!
and then the postie brought me this lovely cross stitched picture as part of a hallowe'en swap I took part in...someone has worked so hard on this, its so neat too! I shall find a nice frame for her at some point...a big thank you to whoever sent it to me!

I am in love with George. So gorgeous.
Leanne to help integrate little George with the other cats give them all a puff of baby powder on their rears - it makes them all smell the same and lessens the aggression. Hope this helps he is a lovely little fur ball

George!What a great name.The dearest little kitten,hope he grows happy and enjoys the company of the menagerie.
Lovely post and loved the descriptions.Hope work settles soon.
Ohhhhh, George is the cutest little sweetie-face! I'm in love! Give him a hug from me, ok?
I have a cat named George also. I adore him and he is a handsome, precious cat "son" but he is a hulking 17 pounds and long past kittenhood, as are all my cats. Now you've got me longing for a new baby!
Hi Leanne, gorgeous kitten - I am kitten broody myself, I lost my cat back in July she was nearly 20 and I just rescued Magic who is 5 years old ....I love your blog and read it regularly and thanks for it - all your animals are fantastic
He's gorgeous - I hope your other cats soon accept him. Best wishes, Pj x
I am in love.. gorgeous george... and love that Sammy is in love with him too... xx
That photo of Sammy and George is just priceless. One of my lads just got a kitten (Jacques) and his German Shepherd is head over heels in love with it. Wouldn't you love to know what George thinks of all of this?

What a cutie George indeed is. Such a sweet little face. I am sure you will have lots of fun with him.
