What else ...
I have a cat called Cleo who is now 15. We travelled to Spain a few years ago by car and back and surprisingly she took to it well.
When I'm working, she stays inside and waits for me to return.
I work for many clients locally around the North of chichester in West Sussex and get to see a lot of people. I've put a photo of Cleo on plus one of my DIY jobs making a bird table for a customer. The big house picture is of Goodwood House. It's the home of the Duke of Richmond and isn't very far from me. They have a famous motor racing event there each year called the Festival of Speed.
