We spent an interesting Saturday – hunting for a mouse in the basement. Teeth or not, Ginger has discovered his old hunting skills and is very good at it. Not a week passes without him coming home carrying a mouse. Good for the mice: Thanks to the missing teeth,...

We end this week how we started on Monday: With a glimpse at more flowers (and cats) in the summer garden. The delicate white flower that opens this issue is an orange blossom. If you like that smell, Prada managed to capture it perfectly in their scent Infusion de...
