It was very easy to leave the cats behind with Pere and Rene while we went off to get married etc etc...  However it was SO difficult to leave them in the hands of someone I didn't know to fly them across the world. They were complete angles this morning, ... Read more >

Back on the old continent

Sun, 23 Sep 2007 | By steph | Views [1006]
