A new friend
A new friend
Saturday, 17 April 2004 This morning was yet another gloriously sunny Spring morning in deepest rural Norfolk. So once again I nagged, encouraged, Vernon and Nathan that we really should make the most of the pleasant weather to go for a short jaunt on the bikes. I got Vernon to raise the saddle on Luigi for me, as yesterday I found it a tad low. Saddle adjusted, we set off, for a pootle. Nathan sped off for a fast pootle, Vernon an intermediate pootle and yours truly a slow pootle. Riding Luigi is really comfortable now I have the saddle to the correct height. That, combined with birdsong in the air and lambs in the fields, made for a lovely jaunt. Almost back home, in the neighbouring village of Beeston, is a small corner shop with post office. This has now become a stopping place as outside the shop I noticed something new; a table, chairs and parasol for shade. A new coffee stop! Vernon, Nathan and I were the very first customers. One must support local businesses, even though home is only a few minutes away ;-) Vernon and I shared a cafetiere of strong, freshly brewed coffee whilst Nathan had a glass of cola. I then found I had a new friend. Along came a little tabby. She meowed, she purred, and she head-butted my shins and blinked her lovely green eyes at me whilst twitching her white whiskers. So I gave her an ear-scritch, purred and chirruped back at her. I then got the feline wide-eyed look of "Good grief, it speaks cat!" which was followed by her giving me even more head-butts with even louder purrs. This, in turn, led to me giving her even more ear-scritches. If I stopped for a second, I was reminded that I should continue by her giving a little meow and putting her head in my hand. The she decided she was going to inspect me closely and jumped up. A cuddle resulted where I was the recipient of multitudinous feline nose-touches and head-rubs on my cheek. The cat is owned by the people who have the shop and she's a rescue cat named "Torville". She is a sweet-natured little thing and I think I've made a new friend. Torville is very good PR for her humans' coffee shop :-) Cheers, helen s --This is an invalid email address to avoid spam-- to get correct one remove fame & fortune **$om $ --Due to financial crisis the light at the end of the tunnel is switched off-- |

Torville is very good PR for her humans' coffee shop :-) I'll say! I love to stop in bookstores and other places when there's a friendly cat on the premises. (Or even a not-so-friendly cat. ) She sounds like a winner. And she'd obviously hit the jackpot with a cat-lover like you. Joyce |
