Life in the Boomer Lane is in London to celebrate the first birthday of First Grandchild. Like any besotted grandmother, she believes her grandchild walks on water (or he would, if he walked).

Miracle the Cat is the latest in a long line of cats Life in the Boomer Lane has had that she has really had no part in acquiring. There’s not one thing she can say about Miracle or about any of my other cats that would be worth reading. Writers far more clever than she […]
