Yesterday, Nicki Allman posted this beautiful photograph of her cat Rosie sunning herself in the garden. I asked very politely and she was kind enough to share.

Rosie and her sister Storm are indoor cats, but occasionally Rosie can be coaxed outside while Storm peeps around the door to watch. Nicki also mentioned that both cats are grumpy because the family have been getting under their feet this week.

I feel the same sensation of cats breathing a sigh of relief every weekday morning when I lock the door as my husband and I leave the house with the children. I just know they love having the house to themselves all day.

Thanks for your lovely spring-themed picture Nicki.
