Cat Cafe Totnes - review and 35mm pictures.

Last month when I went back home to Devon I visited probably the BEST place ever! In the nearest town to where I live there is a cat cafe... yes that's right you can have a brew and be cuddled and smudged by kitties!

The cafe itself is so relaxed it feels like you are at home, the cats come and go as they please and you can buy a little pot of treats to share with them. The kitchen is out of bounds to the cats so its all hygienic and there are anti-bacterial handwashes on all the tables.

The cafe is run by a pet-hospital group Cool for Cats who take care of cats in need and have a shelter close-by (I think for rehoming aswell as sick or injured cats) where the 6 cats who are in the cafe also live. You can find out more information on their work HERE.
The cafe also acts as a pet-therapy place for people who have disabilities, it's also great for anyone who can't have a pet or misses a pet far away.

I took my film camera with me and these are the photos I got back (if you click the cats names you can see better pictures from the website):

The star of the show was definitely Lilac who snapped up all the treats and climbed into my bag in the search for more!
This is Felix, he was curled up sleeping most of the time but always close by to a person for a stroke.
This is Mango a gorgeous fluffy white and ginger kitty who was a bit dopey and silly and kept rolling about inside his high up cat-tree.
This gorgeous kitty is Glee, she seemed shy but once we sat down she was soon rubbing around us.

There is also Rolo a Tabby who was fast asleep in a kitty bed and also Jet - the biggest cat I've ever seen! He was like the Beast of Bodmin with his massive orange eyes and was only 18 months old! Sadly he wouldn't stay still enough for a picture - too busy stalking about. 


The great thing was it wasn't busy, it was really relaxed and nobody under 16 can enter so the cats are also not stressed out - they seemed to love the attention!

Have you ever been to a cat cafe/would you go?

Hope you have a grand weekend!

The Big Day - outfit post.

A little different outfit post for you today - this is the dress I wore to my Mothers wedding last weekend.

It took me so long to choose a dress, we're not really a traditional kinda family, the wedding reception was in a local pub and we ate chicken kebabs for the meal (as well as other food!) so I didn't want your usual kinda fancy looking dress. I actually bought 3 from ASOS and tried them all but this one was the clear winner! 

The pub (you can see the outdoor seating) was right on this beautiful river.
Casio Watch - TheWatchHut
I usually wear my gold Casio but as I was wearing silver rings this went so well! I love it!
The 'Button Hole' Flowers I had to wear.
My nails for the wedding.

It was a lovely day in such a beautiful location!
Congratulations to my Mum and Simon and I'm actually back down in Devon again this weekend to visit my Australian cousin who came down as a suprise for the wedding!

Take care <3 p="">x

Trip to Totnes.

For those who don't know, Totnes is a small village about 10 minutes away from where I live in Devon (in the UK), it's full of people who are into Organic and handmade stuff and they all dress a little strange. I don't mean this in a negative way I think its great that they don't care what others think and everyone is happy and very friendly.

First up I went to a shop called Gazebo - I wanted to buy every single thing there! It has alot of Cath Kidson which I'm not a fan of BUT every other single thing had to be mine from cute deer to nesting dolls - I loved it!

Here's what I bought:
Mushroom money box

Clip bird - to sit in my vintage bird cage I got for Christmas.

Cute deer and kitty postcards - just to stick on my wall.

Also went to a few charity shops and picked up:

Nesting doll keychain - £1

A biiig mixed bag of fabric for £3 (more than pictured)
and that pink one was £3 for over 2 metres and I love the retro pattern!

On the way home we popped into one of my favorite garden centers - Fermoy's:

And this really cute nesting doll was only 99p!

Phew!
So there's a long post to make up for the short ones - and (I deserve a medal for this...) I still have NO 't' button!
What did you get upto on the weekend?
