A Postcard from Pipehouse.



Dear Cats,
Having a lovely time away, though I have been working very hard, putting up the exhibition and having the preview and talking in schools. Staying in a lovely house and there is a cat here called Calypso. She has been sleeping on the bed and curling up with me and helping me to write. She is a calico cat with eyes like amber fire.
Calypso knows a great deal about books as she helps Tessa to run Barefoot Books.
It is cold here and each morning when I wake up the grass is painted silver with frost. So far I have seen no hares, but lots of wild deer.
Hope you are ok and don't miss me too much and that Deb and Al are looking after you and keeping you warm.
Love
Jackie
PS Here are some pictures of the exhibition, and here are some pictures of places I have been.

Dear Ginger Darlings,
I bet you are cross with your human for ignoring you so.
Mimi, Ollie, Booger and the whole "Not-Ollie -Gang" in Marrakech are madder'n hornets at our humans.
Ismail doesn't pamper us.
Who is this interloper your human is being nice to......?
One of our humans wants everyone to post artistic pictures of DOORS next Wednesday, artisic - my paw!
We think we will just ask Mr.Booger Sr. to pee on the metal terrace door.
This is not pretty but so what? They deserve it.
With feline greetings,
Mimi and Ollie
