Today we did a short cruise and are back in the countryside which is far more preferable than the towns.
However, it appears that Matilda (the cat) also like the countryside and she brought in a mouse – (her blog has details). I really thought that the first one was a fluke, however, she has really got the hang of this mouse catching, so we have now decided to keep the door closed so that she has to meow to get back in and hopefully as she will need to meow, she will drop whatever is in her mouth. It’s a bit of a pain as I love having the doors open with the country air flowing into the boat. But I guess that mouse catching is only natural for a cat.
Prior to this, we went for a walk to get bread and milk and decided to take a footpath back to the canal. We walked through a field of sheep, past what looked like a deserted farm and then through 2 more fields into another field where the grass came up over my knees. Whilst we were getting very lost and at the point of “we have gone to far so turning back was not an option”, I began to think that this is very much like a horror movie – getting lost, finding an old farm, sheltering in farm, creaking porch swing … I am sure you can picture the scene and almost hear the trailer from the man who has the deep voice
Update on the mouse, he has not moved to where Scott left him and Matilda is pacing, she really wants to go back outside.
Wanted: home for a mouse catching, nightmare cat (only joking.. or am I?)
