Kew Gardens 3rd Smile

Another visit to my favourite garden.

Every time I explore different areas.

As it is so big, I never run out of finding beauties of nature.

This time I found

the making of a pinecone

 

A really funny shaped very small bloom:

(I don’t know all the botanical names, as my eyes are bigger than my memory)

 

One of my favourite grasses

 

Another pretty little thing – a hanging flower

One of Kew’s famous lizards

a tall proud multi coloured beauty

and another hanging blue miracle

 

‘Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. ¹² The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. ‘ Genesis 1,11

More of Danny’s Summer Travels

Hi all, here is Danny again.

After Bavaria,

we traveled to the Black Forest.

Wow, there are many trees…….

I didn’t meet any bears though,

well not in the forest but in my mum’s friend’s house,

I met lovely German Teddies.

We saw the biggest marketplace of Germany  in Freudenstadt

It has a church which is built round the corner.

 

 

We drove along the Schwarzwaldhochstrasse, had a picnic with a wonderful view.

then continued to the Mummelsee which is very cold but beautiful.

It is about 1060m high.

While playing around I nearly fell but a helpful arm helped me up again.

I love all these adventures and everyone makes me feel so welcome.

Our planet is such a beautiful place and we do need to look after it.

Everyone needs to do their bit.

Even a small act helps!

Please do your bit for the environment where ever you are!

Danny’s Summer Travels

I, Danny was fortunate enough to accompany my mum and family travelling to Bavaria.

First I found great bushes to climb in my auntie’s garden

while my mum tried to shoot dinner (at a Middle Age Market in Schongau)

….. we did have salad that night…. 🙂

We enjoyed driving along the Kochelsee in beautiful sunshine,

then up a mountain

and down again to the Walchensee.

There we went with a cable car to the Herzogstand and enjoyed the hot weather in 1600m height.

It was so wonderfully warm, the view was breathtaking from the top seeing so many more mountains of the Alpes.

I was allowed to sit right by the window in the cable car so I could see better going down.

It was an amazing experience for a bear. ( just a bit hot with my fur)

I am so grateful to see so many beautiful mountains, lakes and winding roads in hot sunshine.

On our way home we stopped at a really little lake/pond with a duck family which was brilliant to cool down after a hot day.

( this little one was the slowest…. so was my mum with taking the picture…)

 

A great day out for all of us!

 

Caturday- Snooze day

My mum has bought me a new cat tree….

however I made sure she knows that it is too high for me..

I am a senior after all.

She got the message and she took it apart again

and made two relaxing places out of it.

Now I love them and can happily relax!

 

I can choose the sunny place or relax in the shade.

 

They are very comfortable I must say.

 

 

Have a relaxing Caturday!

 

Changes again…

Hi there , Thomas here.

I am updating you with news from our household.

Things are constantly changing here and it is hard to keep up with it.

One minute there is furniture,

next minute an empty room,

then suddenly more boxes and

then new furniture.

Of course I am the first to try it out.

 

It got my approval, although my mum has now filled it with stuff,

so I can’t jump up anymore.

I guess that is what it is for.

I found a nice space with my friends.

The room has changed and I still find cosy places, so I am happy!

Changes can be hard

then can work out beautifully!

 

My friends

Hi,

here is Thomas again:

I wanted to introduce you to my wonderful friends:

 

Oups, from the planet of the Heart

and Danny, the travelled Teddy.

They are best friends and usually hang out together.

 

Oups is very wise, he has a huge heart,

is always positive and features in lots of books.

My mum had many of his books, here is a taster what is in it.

 

“Loving words and a happy smile warm every heart.”

Danny has travelled quite a bit like Germany and Spain.

That is a lot for a little bear.

Doesn’t he look cool!

 

Oups likes to sit with me too!

 

We are both equally soft.

Wishing you a super day

and a big hug from all of us,

Oups, Danny and me, Thomas!

Guest post: Cat in the Box

As my mum is out

I jumped on the computer

to show you my favourite places.

From the title you can see it is a box,

yes anything enclosed, I love

additional to my mum’s lap of course.

There are always new places appearing in my house,

boxes and others.

I utilise them all.

I promised my friend Binky to show my relaxing places.

So here we are:

the box on the sofa

 

the box on the floor

the tiny shoebox

the rocking chair

 

my mum’s computer desk,

I just swipe things of the desk and get comfortable.

 

the drawer in my mum’s son’s room

Yes I am allowed

 

Isn’t it just wonderful how many places I have to relax and snooze!

So now it’s your turn,

find a peaceful spot and have a snooze.

 

Wishing you all a very relaxing weekend!

I love squirrels.

I do have some around my garden too.

 

Advice from a Squirrel 

Look both ways when you cross the road
Plan ahead
