Meeting Friends

On Sunday our mum and dad told us they were going to meet Ginger Jasper and Milo and Alfie's mums and dads and that we couldn't go. Well we decided that wasn't right. If it wasn't for us they wouldn't have been meeting up in the first place. We all had a Flat Cat discussion and decided whether they liked it or not, we were all going too!

They had a carvery lunch first and there was lots of talking and laughing going on. When they had finished, they went out into the garden to carry on talking and to take photos.
This is the view of the back of the pub and restaurant taken from the garden. It is called the Highwayman's Haunt and is very old.

Alfie took Milo off checking out the gardens while we relaxed on one of the tables with GJ for a while.
Eric: I really must tell mum that I think she is overdoing my diet. Even Skinny Flynnie is bigger than me now.

GJ's dad did an impression of Harry Hill and made everybody laugh.

Then the Beans joined us by the table.
Back row l to r GJ's dad, our dad, Milo and Alfie's dad.
Front row, our mum and Milo and Alfie's mum, and of course us.

Then we got a bit of cuddling for the next photo.
L-R Our dad and Eric, GJ's mum and GJ, our mum and Flynn, GJ's dad.

Then Milo and Alfie came back from exploring the gardens and joined us all for a group photo.

Then we said that is enough of having the Beans in our photos, we wanted one on our own.
We didn't get a kitty bag from any food they left but we did get a goody bag each from Milo and Alfie with yummy treats and lovely woolly balls. Thanks Milo and Alfie. Their mum pawed forward the original Dewey book to our mum and when she has read it, she will paw it forward too.
Ginger Jasper's mum knitted a gorgeous shawl for our mum which she said will be ideal for cooler nights on their cruise. (Oh, did we forget to tell you, we are being locked up again in just over a week's time.) And she got a lovely scarf with lots of kitties on it. Dad got a mug with us on it and he loves it! We will show those pictures later because they are on the other camera.

  3. Your humans certainly had a great time (and my human is envious)! Funny, though... GJ is so much bigger than you two! I thought it would have been the other way 'round.

  9. Oh what a wonderful weekend you all had! And in such an historic spot, too.

    I'm sure it was like meeting old friends even though it's the first time you've met in PURRson.

    Poor old Eric and Flynn, though -- getting locked up again, already! At least this time it's only for a week.

  34. I think it is so great that you all got together. And in the last photo, the sign says Dogs to be kept on leash, which I think is a very good idea with all you Flat Cats around.
