Today's #tinyjoy kittens in a blue slipper from a vintage postcard. Happy sighs.
A ginger and black Persian kitten with the latter sitting in a blue slipper. Both looking very pretty and lovely.

Thank you to the Friends of Tabley, guests and visitors who attended our magical virtual tour of Tabley Old Hall last Wednesday. We had a lovely time followed by tea and cake.
