Short Break

We thought we had tricked him. We got up at the usual time. Had breakfast in the usual manner and went about a few hours of normal chores. There were no piles of clothes. No suitcases had been retrieved. There was no hint that we were planning a short break and that Jasper would be staying at the Cattery.

That’s what we thought.

Jasper knew. Jasper had hidden behind the drawers in my study. Jasper was not coming out without a struggle. The struggle was short but resulted in Jasper emptying the contents of his bladder all over my study carpet. Sorting this out was not one of my planned items for the morning but suddenly leapt to the top of the list. Jasper was soon deposited with Mark, the cat whisperer, and we headed home to pack. Jasper can enjoy his own spa break for a few days.

We set off across country. It was a journeyI used to do weekly and took in some lovely countryside as we swept out of Sussex, through Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, and into Worcestershire. We pulled in to car park at Puckrup Hall and decanted our luggage from the car. We were soon checked in and shown to our suite. We have a large living room, a dinning room, a bedroom, a bathroom and a second washroom. We also have a lovely balcony looking out over the golf course and across the countryside.

After the long drive we decided to eat in the hotel tonight.
