Dear All.....

As you may have noticed since I'm back from Germany I've slowed down on posting.
For several reasons due to pressure of things from what I've had to look after here at La Pouyette.
So, I've been spending very little time on my desk
and just skimming quickly through the blog world from time to time.
Which means that I'm now far behind with writing comments
to all of your interesting posts with beautiful Christmas themes, decorations and images.
Sorry about that.




And then.....


...last week our Oskar had a serious accident which has involved major surgery
and hospitalisation in Bordeaux. We brought him home 4 days ago
 and we have to give him full attention throughout the day for at least the next 6 to 8 weeks.
The poor chap is not allowed out to roam around the garden and fields,
he feels very deprived and, apart from his pains, is not amused at all being a "prisoner",
neither are we! 



I will try to be back before Christmas.
Meanwhile, warmest wishes to all of you,
Karin

    poor Oskar and family - you have such a lovely prison La Pouyette, but sometimes it's necessary to change the place.

  8. Dear Karin, Our animals do worry us and sometimes they are so much trouble. They give so much back and we are their keepers because they can not take care of themselves. Oskar is a very lucky cat to have you to take care of him. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season. And yes, we look forward to your posts when life at La Pouyette is a little less hectic.

  15. Dear Karin,

    Life is more than blogging and sometimes we need to attend to other things. I hope Oskar doesn't chafe too much at the inactivity, and that you cope well.

    Merry Christmas!

  16. Poor, sweet Oskar... I am glad to know that he is mending and hope that the confinement is not too hard on any of you. There is nothing like the love of a kitty. Gentle hugs to Oskar...

    Bises,

  19. I don't know how I missed this! I am so sorry to hear of Oskar's illness! I can't imagine him cooped up and missing his precious wandering! And you having to also be cooped up- !

    You must be doing a lot of reflecting.
    Just let us know when you want the trees trimmed...

  20. Oh Karin, I hope Oskar is recovering well from his accident. Our furry little loves mean the world to us and I know how upsetting it can be when they are ill. Please be sure to take all the time you need. We will all be here when you are able to return to blogging.
    I hope you have a lovely Christmas and please give Oskar a kiss for me.
