Almost camouflaged when having a good old chew

When we are away the cats like to have company and last year we joined the Trusted House Sitters website. For a fee of about £65.00 a profile is written about us, the puss cats, Mull, dates required and so on. If a potential cat sitter is interested we start to correspond and to date all the cat cuddlers have been purrfect.

Just before leaving for the jolly we met a younger couple who stayed here over a period of 5 weeks. They made the most of their time on the island by attending events we had no idea were taking place. They saved the house plants I had lost hope in and sent wonderful detailed emails and photos of the boys, the latter revolving around mouse presents and sleeping.

Today I drove M our last cuddler of the year to the ferry, she was flying home to Boston USA tomorrow from Glasgow. A lovely person, she has house/pet sat all over the world including Argentina. It's wonderful that people who love Scotland can live here - no money changes hands - and experience a good time. I have to add we have excellent neighbours who help make this easier.
