Heartbeat's First Adventure

Hello, lovely reader people!

Since Beth is currently busy with packing and stuff, she asked me to write the blog post this time. And let me tell you, typing is hard work when you're only a fraction of the size of the keyboard!

For my first blog post I thought I'd share with you my first adventure into the big wide world.
Ok, ok, so it was the garden. But it's big and wide to me!
 All that grass did look tempting, though...
 
But it was much bigger up close! I could barely walk through it: it was like trying to explore a jungle!
Once I got out of the grass I decided to stick to the stone pathways. At least its easier to walk on them, but it sure was dark over there...
 That's a long path for a small horse!
Ah! The wind blew me over!
 Maybe I'll be more secure in the flower beds...
That is one big strawberry plant. Mmmm, strawberries....
 I followed the plants for a little while, and somehow made it onto this trellis...
 
Ooh, er, I appear to be stuck...Um, little help?
Phew, that's better!
 At least from up high I was able to spot a patch of fine, sandy soil that I asked Beth to put me down on.
 A good dust bath was just what I needed to get over getting stuck up high!
 Hey, I found a log!
Beth told me horses are meant to jump over logs, not climb on them, but I thought climbing was much more interesting.
 After that there was just time for a photo shoot...
...and then it was time for bed. After all that adventuring I was glad to get back into my nice safe pony pouch.

See you next time!

Cats, everywhere...

I am so sorry for my lengthy absence from this blog, guys. Just at the moment we're in the final month or so of moving house, so life is rather hectic and stressful right now, and things like writing a blog have been forced to take a back seat, temporarily. Hopefully, I'll be able to get back onto a more regular rhythm once we're settled into our new home.

In the meantime, I appear to have been silently overtaken by a colony of soft-footed felines...

 Please meet Moss,
 Bueno,
Noah,
 Minka,
 Squirrel,
 Tizzy,
 Tabby,
 Cleo,
and Parsnip.
These two are Wispa and Little Man, and hopefully before too long I'll get a chance to repaint them. Little Man will be turned, with a few tweaks,  into a portrait of my own cat, whilst Wispa, who is an un-branded model, will be entirely repainted. They'll be back to show off their new coats once painted.
 And then finally, with this many cats around, it's inevitable to end up with a litter or two of kittens. The three females are, from left to right, Lilly, Lallie and Lexi,
and the two males are, from left to right, Fidget and Pipkin. 
I have a feeling Heartbeat is the one that's been letting in all these felines...I've made her promise not to bring home any more cats, but I can't be certain she heard me...
