We bought some Relax Kids CDs at Findhorn years ago and they have been used to great effect for relaxation and self esteem boosting ever since. They now have many new titles for children and teens and a wonderful website where you can listen to excerpts

These creamy white buttons make the most amazing white hot chocolate! See Cat's recipe on The Modern Housewife blog.
That mouse is just so gorgeous, how lucky to catch it. Will definately look at those CDs, spent a week at Findhorn over twenty years ago on a family week, it was awesome!
aww look at that little guy! so much effort to get to his peanuts. cute
You post too quickly for me to keep up, so I’ll comment on two at once!
The mouse pics are great! We had a wee fellow like that on our birdfeeders something some time back, but didn’t manage to take any photos. Sadly, the only mice we’ve seen recently have been brought to us courtesy of one or other of the cats. I tell them it’ll be house rabbits for us, once they shuffle off… And we don’t risk feeding the birds anymore…
Your relaxation CDs look very interesting. I wonder if they’d work for a 21 year old? (Jane has always been a very poor sleeper.)
That wreck looks recent? And I always love to see washing out by the sea. I agree; it must smell WONDERFUL!
Edit to delete ‘something’!
I love woodmice!
Legs like kangaroos!
he is so sweet there, think he’s quite safe from our cats, they don’t seem to catch anything these days, all getting older…
those mice do jump like kangaroos too!!
well, I relax with them… they use standard techniques which work on everyone, it’s just quite simple with nice scenarios.
I love that mouse
Yes, I’m hoping that advancing years will decrease the amount of prey. Not happening yet, unfortunately.
However, when people tell me they don’t like cats ‘because of what they do to birds’, I say, ‘Well they’re not as cruel to them as humans are!’ and when they look puzzled I mention battery cages etc….
