Guess where we went for coffee!

Yesterday, 'post the perfect Christmas' we woke to the icing on the cake.....snow! I was of course overjoyed though it is safe to say the PG, only too well aware of the 300 mile journey ahead of us, was somewhat less enthralled. My only reservation was that a tentative arrangement we had made just prior to Christmas might have to be foregone under the circumstances.

Thankfully as we set off and made our way onto the M1 the weather improved a little and we decided that we would try to fullfill our little plan. With that in mind I sent a short text to someone asking if she was free and immediately my phone rang and a cheerful voice confirmed that our litte plan was going to come together!

And so it was that PG and I made our way to the home of Kitty, she of 'Kitty's Scritchings' fame for coffee!

This was a first for me, the first time I have managed to meet another blogger for 'real' and we had a fab time.....there was most definitely no shortage of chattering, nor of cats to cuddle and fuss. For those of you not familiar with Kitty's blog, she has four of the most beautiful friendly felines, so adorable in fact that PG made an attempt at kidnapping 'Pixel', though he was thwarted by Kitty!

Sadly we were on quite a tight schedule having a deadline by which we had to 'rescue' Ditto from the cattery. We had intended to only stay for half an hour but as we women will we managed to drag it out to nearer and hour before PG reminded us that we really ought to hit the road. Left to our own devices we could have happily sat talking all day no doubt.....whether PG or Wookie, Kittie's partner, who was unfortunately poorly and who had been given dispensation to remain in his sick bed, would have been keen on listening to us gossiping all day is another matter!

For me it was fab to get together with Kitty, I was only sorry that we couldn't disrupt her day longer, I could happily have stayed for hours chattering, cat cuddling and looking at the spectacular view from her living room window....really, you have to visit her blog to see what I mean but you won't have seen anything like it!

Hopefully, given that each time we go to my sisters or my parents we pass within four miles, we will manage to get together again sometime in the future and carry on where we left off yesterday.

Thanks Kitty, a great end to our Christmas holiday. :o)
