I'M SPOSED to be meeting up with my Mumzy in town for high tea (or something). I'm sure scones will be involved. In some olde tea shoppe place somewhere obscure... somewhere I don't know... help me I'm falling down a black hole!!!!! Never to escape. Argh. But I look really presentable. For once.
PS: though they look extraordinarily cute, I might have to give the chinchillas a miss for now. They are too big and need too much care. And don't like muggy English summers. My former Russian hamsters of yore looked literally about to expire on our hottest July and August days and I had to give them ice packs, which these creatures, native to Siberia, walked upon quite happily with their fur-lined paws... chinchillas have similar heat sensitivity... and apart from providing stone cladding and marble blocks (and ice packs) what else could I do... when we hit 100 degrees!??PPS: just like chinchillas, Siberian hamsters also require regular dustbathing to keep their extraordinarily thick fur in best condition...

You killed me with this picture of delicious scones ! My mouth waters now ! I have eaten them in Eastbourne they were sooooo good. I find them here in the English shop, but they are not that fresh.
The chinchillas are cute. Maybe just the regular hamsters will be good!
I love high tea! All those little ribbon sandwiches and cakey bits. Enjoy! Good decision on the Chins, just too much maintenance.
Have fun at tea with your mum. It sounds fun to me.
Love you, Gledds.
Hope you enjoyed high tea with your mum... x
