oceangirl - these are my stories 
LOL David Bowie came back as a cat!!
I know. How cool is this cat. We went to the top of a mountain range and there is a colony of cats up there. I don’t want to say they are ‘feral’ as I am not sure how they survive but there were probably around twenty five to thirty of them that we saw. I photographed most of them 🙂 but he was quite handsome with his ‘Bowie’ look…….x
Great mix of last snapshots but I really missed your writing. More stories again please. Vivi
Thank you for your lovely comment Vivian. The writing is back, please enjoy……..x
