It was a sunny afternoon so I prised myself off the sofa where I was quite happy with wine and the newspaper, and walked to Ordis. It is the nearest village and could be described as peaceful, or quiet, or even dead! I saw noone all the time we wandered around the streets. the church clock struck one quarter, then two, then three and not a curtain twitched or a door creaked open.
But the best bit of Ordis is the abandonned house where the cats live
There were kittens too
They do seem well and healthy and there were the usual plastic containers lying around showing that someone feeds them all regularly
I am in love with this kitten
If only we could! I tried to imagine it living in Granollers, with a cat tray on the terrace and a flap in the door leading outside. But what about when we go to the UK? Who would look after her? I don’t think I could manage driving up through France with a dog and a cat on leads in the camper van.
I must wait till we live somewhere proper, in the countryside with neighbours who can come in and stroke and feed cats.
On the way home I met another mushroom hunter
That’s the word for it here in the Girona region. People go to caçar bolets. We had a very long chat in Catalan. If I am honest she did most of the talking and clearly thought I was fluent. I smiled and frowned at all the right places and did understand about 50% but the other half was totally lost on me. She was a lovely woman and lives in Ordis. I was able to ask her about the cats house. Unfortunately I didn’t really understand the answer.
A lovely sky as we got close to home.
Back on the sofa now with wine and the newspaper!
The most lovely excursions!!!
Mmmm, more mushrooms!!! I love the cats too, how you know she is a female cat? You Know, you were saw for several Ordis people…? xxxx
Haha, a whole abandoned house filled with cats? Haha, crazy! THat’s nice that someone feeds them. Not sure I’d want to live next door though, I bet it’s loud with meows!
