Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who sent good wishes for this handsome doofus a couple of weeks ago. Sadly, we had to let him go, at the grand old age of 16. Thanks to everybody who sent him good wishes and virtual skritches, we appreciated each and every one.

Amazing turn-out in Leeds for the Stand up to Racism protest yesterday. Failed to get a decent crowd shot of the thousands of people there - 3,000 people turned out to say NO to racism in Leeds. A brilliant day, thoroughly restored my faith in the human spirit
