Florence proving she’s still better than Hamilton at climbing trees. #caturday #gingercat #cats #trees #orangecat

Elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar patrolling this afternoon- he was big enough to act as a draught excluder 😂 #moths #insects #caterpillars #nature

Cheerful Friday flowers #bloomscrolling #marigolds #daisies #flowers #dahlia

I think it’s time to find a ladder. #bloomscrolling #apples #fruit #harvest #garden

Hamilton helping out in the garden by doing a bit more pruning. #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat #whiskerswednesday

Shades of mauve in the garden. #bloomscrolling #flowers #cyclamen #mushrooms

After a six hour drive, we are about to move our youngest into Uni in the torrential rain from a parking spot 1/2 a mile away. I am assured that Hamilton is coping well and has managed to miss the light rain shower at home. #caturday #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat

Some of today’s garden flowers. #bloomscrolling #flowers #roses

Hamilton explaining how the week has been going. #catsofbluesky #orangecat #gingercat #whiskerswednesday

A tiny mushroom forest and a butterfly camouflaged under a tree. #mushrooms #nature #butterflies

Last of the sweet peas and some bright but damp dahlias. #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias

Hamilton on the starting blocks for his #caturday run. (Amble 20 paces, roll over and then head back for a nap) #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat

Afternoon wildlife - a dragonfly who had to be freed from the Velux and a butterfly sunbathing on the plum tree. #bloomscrolling #butterflies #dragonflies #nature

Hamilton half listening to a lecture on why you shouldn’t prune roses with your teeth. #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat #cats

Some bright yellow flowers from yesterday when it was a bit sunnier. #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias

Lots and lots of butterflies this afternoon, mostly around the fig tree until the hornet turned up. #butterflies #bloomscrolling #hornet

Hamilton looking a bit more poised for his #caturday photo after his last efforts. #catsofbluesky #gingercat #cats #orangecat

A fluffy faced bee and a butterfly making the most of the sedum. #bloomscrolling #bees #nature #butterflies

Hamilton messing up the school photos again. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

So many butterflies in between rain showers. Not sure Mabel noticed the one above her head. #butterflies #bloomscrolling #dogsofbluesky

Too wet for a gardening break, so I picked flowers instead. #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias #cosmos #sweetpeas

It’s #gingercatappreciationday so here is a throwback photo of Hamilton as a teenager, trying to escape from a pheasant. #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat #cats

Hamilton shocked at seeing the visiting dog/horse (a friendly Rhodesian Ridgeback) retreated to the roof. He appears to be making plans to ensure the visit is not repeated 😼 #caturday #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat

Busy afternoon in the garden. (the snail was relocated 😂) #bloomscrolling #bees #butterflies

It’s been a bit damp so Hamilton has retired to my bed until conditions improve. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Not sure who started it … (I suspect Hamilton) #catsofbluesky #cats #dogsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat

Was good to come home and see some flowers 😃 #bloomscrolling #sweetpeas #flowers #dahlias #cosmos

Hamilton had not been overly exerting himself while we have been away. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

In Reading for the festival and looking forward to surviving another year - line up a little challenging in parts 😂 #gigs #music #reading

Garden flowers before we head off to Reading for a slight change of scenery. #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias

Hamilton has detected a slight chance of rain and has retired to Mabel’s bed until further notice. #catsofbluesky #gingercat #orangecat #cats

Sweet peas nearing the end, but still lots of cheerful dahlias. #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias #sweetpeas

Mabel a little disappointed that Hamilton doesn’t put any effort into getting the steps right. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #dogsofbluesky

Florence dreaming of a life without Hamilton. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Flowers from around the garden and a butterfly. #bloomscrolling #roses #dahlia #butterflies

This morning Hamilton has aspirations of being a ginger panther. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Monday flowers in a vase and in the garden. #bloomscrolling #dahlias #sweetpeas #pond #nature

Hamilton appears to be taking his neighbourhood watch duties seriously this morning. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Lots of free bird food appearing. #bloomscrolling #berries #nature

Hamilton making an effort and actually standing up to pose. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Rainy day flowers and a random find in a patch of weeds. #bloomscrolling #flowers #bees

Hamilton reflecting on why it’s not good to surprise tackle Florence or bite me when I pick him up to tell him that. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Hamilton distinctly unimpressed with being made to go for a walk during a light rain shower. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

This week’s flowers. #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias #sweetpeas

Bumble bee hard at work with his tongue out and a striking Jersey Tiger moth. #bloomscrolling #bees #moths #nature

Hamilton beginning his morning meditation. #caturday #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Mid week flowers, shades of green and lots of apples! #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlias #trees #nature

Florence’s 2nd tree climbing exercise tonight was a bit more polished than the first. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Hamilton has had a hard morning moving from bed to hedge. #catsofbluesky #cats #gingercat #orangecat

Lots of flowers this week #bloomscrolling #flowers #dahlia #roses
