About Me

My photo
Vancouver, Canada
Originally from a small seaside town in the North of England, I lived and worked in France, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland and the Maldive Islands before moving to Canada in 1995 - where I intended to stay 'just a couple of years'. Well, I'm still here. I live with my fabulous (Canadian) husband, Lorne, in Vancouver's Westside, close to beaches & downtown. We opted for kitties over kids and are proud parents to 3 wonderful rescues; Mel & Louis, who we adopted in 2010, and little miss Ella, who joined us in 2013. I miss my family in the UK but luckily my sister and best friend, Victoria, lives just down the street with her family. I remain very European at heart and would love to move back there, even for a while. Hopefully I'll convince Lorne & the kitties one day. Besides, I'm fluent in French & German but rarely get chance to use either here. Outside of work I love photography, writing, making cards, working out, camping, kayaking, horse riding & most things really. I've always been an animal lover, support several animal protection organizations and haven't eaten meat in 27 years.
Words To Live By:
We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words. Anna Seawell (Author of Black Beauty)

Happy 1st Anniversary to our sweet little Ella

Whether we call her Ella, Ella-Bella, Ella Bella Belly-Rub, Ella-Bella-Boo or simply (the) Boo, there is no denying that adopting this little Miss (although fraught with no lack of anxieties at the time), has proved to be a very wonderful thing indeed. She's a charming, sociable, cuddly and entertaining addition to our family.

Ella matches our furniture purrfectly :-)

Not only does Ella love being around people, she also gets along perfectly with Mel and Louis. We're all happy to be celebrating her first anniversary in our crazy little household.

Mel and Ella - they snuggle together frequently.

Even Louis (top) is getting in on the action.
(With just enough space to fit one more cat?) 

Their first album cover :-)

Bless.
