Anyone bored of kittens yet?!

They'll be five months old tomorrow and growing up fast. Thankfully they are still every bit the kitten right now but I know from experience from when Hallie started going outside that most of the playing will be done out there from now on! Hopefully we will have less of a mess of cat toys strewn all over the place indoors (and other things which are not cat toys but they think they are). But I still don't really want them to grow up yet, although it has been lovely and peaceful the last few evenings - and nights - as they have been so exhausted after hours outside they have slept well when they came back in!

Here are a selection of pics taken when they've been outside over the last week or so. 

Bertie sniffing the wind which he hadn't encountered before!

Harry's shadow is beside the cold frame.

Now this one of Harry needs a bit of explaining. He is an oddball who has loved chewing the dried out ends of garlic and onions as I've been bringing them in from the barn. He then progressed to eating the green shoots of spring onions and even eats radish leaves when I leave them in a bowl in the sink in the mud room. So it stands to reason he would discover my chives and start to eat them!

After their first sortie alone, Hallie appeared every other time and they became braver. After that there was no stopping them and they've discovered trees to climb, the ducks (who they haven't actually chased, thank goodness), butterflies to chase, crane flies to pounce on, duck feathers to pretend are mice they have caught and vole holes in the lawn to investigate.

The worried look here is due to the proximity of the lawnmower!

Don't worry, I won't be posting updates every month now, only when I get some good or fun captures of them!
