Marching for the Alternative. Middot; Write a comment. Middot; Categories: Life stories. Middot; Tags: #26March. March for the Alternative.

Losing Molly… Finding Mimi. Middot; Write a comment. Middot; Categories: Cats and Dogs. Middot; Tags: Ameila cat. One of my favourite photos of Molly. Typically exploring, typically posing for the camera. RIP precious angel with fur. The 24th June was a painfully sad day for our family. Our beloved Molly cat was so ill Tina and I had to make the heartbreaking decision to have her put to sleep. She was only three years old and the illness came as a huge unexpected shock. Bevan meets his new sister cat Mimi.

The final locomotives to succumb to the cutter’s torch were three LMS. A3 locomotive, and the A4. No examples of the A1 Peppercorn class survived into preservation.

Back in September 2009 in fact, then still still a couple of months away from ending my Florida adventure.
