Parsley Sauce's Cute Outdoor Selfie

Parsley is an adorable mini panfur, and he loves being in the garden and can often be found snoozing on the edge of the lawn, near the bird feeders. And the birds don't seem bothered by him at all. It's as if he likes watching Bird TV in real time! MOL 

And speaking of Bird TV, mew do know that we created some really fun YouTube videos of the cheeky chirpers at BBHQ, mew can watch them all here and we'll be making some new videos soon.

Battle of Passchendaele: 31 July - 6 November 1917

The P.A.'s Grandfather fought in the Battle of Passchendaele; he was shot by German soldiers who thought he was dead and he was put in a mass grave. Luckily another German soldier saw him move and pulled him free. He was then taken to a German POW camp where his leg was amputated below the knee. He got gangrene, and a second amputation was carried out; he was finally released after many months as part of a prisoner exchange.   

Upon finally returning home, the remainder of his leg was removed almost to the hip and he used a wooden leg enabling him to walk, but he did more than walk; he literally built a business from nothing, had a family and left a legacy which now the P.A. runs with her mum.

Though he never spoke of his ordeal much, the P.A.'s Great Aunty got to learn of the horrors he suffered, hence the reason we know his history today.

Grandpa Fred died in 1946 when the P.A.'s mum was only 3, and the P.A.'s Grandmother was left with 5 children under the age of 10 and a business to run. The P.A. gives thanks daily for her Grandpa's grit, courage and determination.

In honour of Grandpa Fred 1886 - 1946



On that note, we'll wish mew a blessed day, and we'll be back on the morrow, so do join us then as mew know how much we love your company.

Wishing mew lots of snoozy snuggles

  4. The PA's grandfather was a very brave man. My grandfather fought in the First World War trenches but would never speak of it after he returned home.
    That is lovely art, Parsley.

  6. Remembering all who give selflessly is so very important. Their lives mean our freedom. A most excellent selfie from Parsley, who carries off, not literally, the checked background very well. :)

  9. Grandpa Fred suffered so much yet accomplished everything. But to be buried alive? Unbelievable. Bless him. Parsley is one of the most dignified cats about. Very handsome. Now your kitty videos: they are now officially approved by Nell and Betsy. They watched an entire two of them. They are exhausted now and sleeping off the excitement.
