Twiggy Bigwood

Surveying a fabulous woodland for Tawny Owl boxes this morning. Such a brilliant habitat!

@anniemac63 Wow! He looks an amazing young man!

@devilscustard Monty aged 21 and 4 months. Still ruling the roost

This is Ben, who is 18 years old and lives in luxury with my parents. Three pillows, five beds dotted around the house and every squeak and meow answered. He has them perfectly trained. #BeMoreBen

@dangerm47163366 He’s excellent!

@devilscustard Im laughing...his name is Mo...a.k.a ASBO

@dangerm47163366 That sounds wonderful. Just don’t give in if it demands a mojito…

@devilscustard My cat is on 2 dining chairs complete with cushions facing garden like a chaise longue.. Cat have staff..not owners

@bexhyett Marvellous! She has you perfectly trained😁

@devilscustard This sounds very familiar to me though I’m the one answering every need! Here is Daisy today aged 17 and 8 months!

@mdevcat @MissyBBBobtail Precisely 😁

@devilscustard @MissyBBBobtail It's amazing what you can do with humans if you just stay consistent! 🤣💕💕💕

@Rebecca08510632 Now that makes sense! All hail!

@devilscustard His full title is Sir Edward Ginger 🤣

@MStubington @NigelMiddleto12 He’s lovely!

@devilscustard @NigelMiddleto12 Hi Ben. I am Willis, 12. I live in Ottawa 🇨🇦 and pleased to meet you.

@finlayson_vera He looks a bruiser! He’s lovely.

@devilscustard This is the feral Tom cat who lives in the woods and sleeps under the woodshed. He eats roadkill and neighbour's hens.

@MgtTaylor1 They are his devoted slaves -despite being 93 and 90 respectively. 😁

@devilscustard I like your parents 😁

@Rebecca08510632 He is magnificent! I do love a cat with a formal name. His suits him very much.

@devilscustard Edward, also 18, still patrolling the fields from dawn til dusk, inviting himself into people's houses & seeing off dogs.

@indoors_remain He sounds an excellent brother!

@devilscustard My brother always denied they'd put in underfloor heating just for the benefit of their arthritic old cat Cherry, but I have my doubts :-)

@rob_northern @PeggyJoFarr2 I know! Shocking. Every surface in the house should be his bed in his eyes 😁

@devilscustard @PeggyJoFarr2 Only 5 beds !

@pgoodfellow Ouch! Now that is chilly!

@devilscustard Magical! Would love to be there! Here in Ottawa, we have snow, ice, and with windchill, feels like -21 C.

For all my dear Twitter pals who are stuck inside this evening, come for a walk on Cromer Pier. The sun has set, the sea is sloshing against the pier legs and, for the first time this year, it’s not freezing. The Victorians certainly knew how to build!

@beesley_gillian Chips were eaten too😁.

@devilscustard That was great, thank you, Twiggy. It has been over 50yrs since I walked Cromer pier.

@Cerys318971 Thank you so much Cerys - I’m so glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you for sharing this with us Twiggy it’s all too easy to get so very involved with the mayhem we are seeing everywhere now and forget that peace and beauty, serenity too still exists in our natural world ..

@JeanetteBeer1 It is - and looked busy this evening.

@devilscustard Is the Hotel de Paris still going?

@ahistoryinart Just beautiful.

'Sunset, near Cley, Norfolk.' (1910) Like John Ruskin, Albert Goodwin responded to landscape with an almost religious fervour and understanding; he interpreted it with greater eclecticism in the style of Whistler, Ruskin’s great adversary in the field of aesthetics.

Cromer pier this evening. I do so like to be beside the seaside.
