Peter99 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Try and get a photo of the Swallows driving to work Pete, I'd love to see that :-) That made me smile Pete. I had my cat called Little Smith for 18 years - lost him three years ago. Anyway, i had a really vivid dream about him one night. It was his first day at work and I waived him off from the front gate as he set off on his push bike with his sandwiches in a rucksack on his back! Still makes me smile. I miss my little cat.
