Historic Cats of London

Found this delightful video by Alice Loxton, "History Broadcaster and Author"; this woman enjoys history the way I do.

Hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.

Garden Walk Cats

Our city had a garden walk yesterday, with rain included in the ticket price, and the starting point was the local history museum and garden.

Image my surprise when I found cats!

A sleeping cat stuffy, in the front parlor at The Crocker House Museum

This shy kitty was watching the garden lovers.
Cool mat!

Sly's humans opened their lovely yard to sightseers; I was greeted with, "Hiya, Sly's Girlfriend!"
Himself did not deign to appear; this image is from last week.

Saxifrage, according to my iPhone; the homeowner didn't know the name.

Some sort of succulent, on the edge of a delightful swimming pool.

Magnolia
