19th January 2026...deer 🦌

Another visitor in the pouring rain....

15th January 2026... Gecko, Charlie.

I found this little chap just as I was going to sit on my chair, he was nice and cosy....I let him o in the veranda, hope he's ok 😂🙏

Meanwhile Buster decided what Charlie needed was a nurse cat to squash him into the box

We took Charlie to the vet 😱

The skin on his face between bottom of ear and jaw bone was dead, and she (without sedation) managed to remove it all....15 days of antibiotics, twice a day, 5 days of anti inflammatory liquid and a cream to put on the wound made of honey, lavender and thyme and worst of all a COLLAR.....he looks awful, but smells lovely.

10th January 2026...Snow & Injured Charlie 😭

We got a little snow

Karl got a bit more!

Charlie was attacked by another cat😭

Squeamish people look away now!

His face was swollen and then burst .. I thought that would be th end of it...but no....

More photos in next few days.
