CassCass Is 4 years old!

She chose the candles and holders and put them in the cake herself. Then she very quietly sang 'Happy Birthday to me'!

She followed this with a curtsey -in two stages.

Later she blew out the candles. This is the second time - the cameras weren't ready the first time! Oops this photo didn't quite make it! Wonder where it got to?!

The Pirate Ship

These pictures are for a certain someone to show him what great fun his cousins had with the pirate ship which he has grown out of and kindly passed on to his cousins.

This last picture is them saying thank you!

Redwings

The same photo treated by Picasa's contrast feature - as advised by Evie. I think she's right - it does show the birds up better.

Sunday morning surprise

There were several of these little beauties in the garden this morning.
I'd never seen them before so out came the bird book. It turns out they are redwings, driven to the city centre by bad weather up country. They feed and move around in flocks - which is why there were quite a few of them.
