Hi, I don’t normally do this but I wonder if you could spare any spare change to help this poor cat, such a sad story but hopefully with a happy ending.
Hi, my name is David and I’m hoping to raise money towards the cost of an operation for Limpy the cat. He is called Limpy because he appeared one day in my mum’s garden with a severe limp due to a broken leg. He was also extremely thin but because he was so timid and scared, as soon as anyone went out to him he disappeared for several days at a time. Instead food was left out for him to eat while no one was around. After several months he was brave enough to eat the food with someone in the garden and after many more weeks of patiently building up his trust he let us stroke him.
Fast forward to today and as you can see from the photo Limpy has finally moved into the house and is a much-loved member of the family. Unfortunately it’s far too late to do anything about the limp from his broken leg, but he has a cyst on his eye that makes it difficult for him to properly close, causes him discomfort and obscures his vision. Thankfully this can be treated.
The estimate Limpy’s vet gave for the operation to remove the cyst is £580 to £862 but I am seeking only to cover the minimum amount of £580. If the goal is reached before I end the fundraiser (which would be amazing!) any extra will go towards any aftercare Limpy might need. If he doesn’t need any then I will donate the money to a local cat charity.
Limpy and I thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for any donation you give. I will update on how the operation goes and if possible provide a photo. Thank you!

I must post this from the other day… How beautiful is this double rainbow? It lasted for ages.
Also, I have a new addition, well 2 new additions to my garden.
This gorgeous dryopteris erythrosora the autumn fern or Japanese shield fern, and nepeta faassenii ‘walkers low’ (cat mint).
Apparently if you have cats (I do) you will be their best friend, they love these plants and can play with them for ages.
The last time I had this my previous cat killed it my laying on it and rolling round and round!
Making this website/journal takes time (and a WordPress subscription), if you would like to buy me a coffee (donate) to keep me refreshed please make a donation – thank
Well this week has gone fast don’t you think? It has been such a warm & sunny week, I hope it stays like this! More and more flowers are appearing in the garden, Allium, Poppies, Cornflowers to name a few. Hope you like the small collection below, ley me know which is your favourite.
Not long to go before my showcase at No3 Heworth. This time I will be showcasing my cyanotype pictures and cards. Pop along if you you are in the vicinity during June. You can view my prints here or buy my cards here.
Well this week looks like it’s going to be a lovely one (apart from today!) A few edits from the past 2 weeks of May, I have been super busy in the greenhouse and the garden. I’ve managed to take down a shed and to find lots of wood bees in a corner behind the shed. They are not doing any harm so I’m leaving them to carry on with their business!
In 2 weeks time I will be showcasing my work at No3 Heworth. This time I will be showcasing my cyanotype pictures and cards. Pop along if you you are in the vicinity during June. You can view my prints here or buy my cards here.
It has been a brilliant start to a new week; time is flying pat so fast I can’t believe it’s the 10th May already. I was very motivated over the weekend and ended up getting my macro (close-up) lens out. These gorgeous plants look even more magical with early morning dew on. I took far too many images, so still wading through them!
“Magic waited for me in the morning dew of this brand new day.”

“One morning, very early, when the sun was up, I rose & found the shiny dew on every buttercup.”
Robert Louis Stevenson
“West, North, & South the children of Men spread and wandered, & their joy was the joy of the morning before the dew is dry, when every leaf is green.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
