UK number plates denote the year/month of manufacture, basically. A 70 plate means that it was new in September this year.

Has been mild, bright and breezy here today chez Casa Reynard, although we did have an absolutely *biblical* rainstorm at lunchtime.
I spent the morning hauling firewood from the fence where it dries / seasons into the garage. Given the forecast for the coming week, I thought it best to get a couple of weeks' worth into the garage.
Am spending the rest of the day chilling.
Oh, and I had scotch broth, two slices of toast, a tangerine, a pear and two
for lunch.

Ely *did* have a spire back in the day, but it fell down and they replaced it with the octagonal lantern. It's absolutely spectacular - from the inside.
The stained glass in the lantern windows is amazing.The cathedral is known locally as "The Ship of the Fens"

Here ya go - the lantern and the beautiful painted ceiling
The cathedral is mostly Norman - it's one of the oldest in the UK, which is why it looks a lot less spectacular than some. But truly, it's a gem of a building.
When this is over, you must come and look at it - from the inside.

We have some good news !
We have been adopted by a young kitten ..
I would post a picture of it but it has disappeared ! It was making its home in the wine rack but when I went out to look in the kitchen just now it had gone . It was hiding underneath the kitchen cupboards untill I removed the kickboard and encouraged it out . We have had a bit of a cuddle with it but it decided to have a wander around in the kitchen .
It is a Tom,Tabby with white socks and bib. He is 9 weeks old . We sort of swapped him for the baby Hedgehog. We didn't really, but we dropped the Hedgehog off for them to look after. They said that we could have some Hedgehogs back in the Spring .

You do realise that the best toy for a kitten is... another kitten...

I found him ! He was on a towel on top of a bar stool underneath the kitchen bar table thingy . I put some of his food on my finger and he licked it off, so he should soon get the idea that I'm not too bad a person .

Make sure he has plenty of warm hidey holes. At that age he will be missing his mum and siblings, so a teddy bear and a hot water bottle won't go amiss...

I've been to Durham Cathedral!
School trip in the late 80s, but hey ho... Norman architecture is solidly imposing.
