Cats can really make a trip extra special. I remember a day trip I took to Amsterdam, where I spotted a beautiful cat in the window of a small café. I knew straight away where I'd be eating my lunch!
As soon as I sat down at a table in the café, the cat jumped on my knee. The owner was concerned that the cat might be annoying me but I assured her that I loved her company. She (the cat that is, not the café owner!) stayed on my knee throughout my meal and I felt sad to leave her. (The café owner told me that the cat had her own website and that she estimated that half of her customers only came into the café because they'd seen the cat!)
The forecast for Le Touquet is looking quite good for the weekend, so a trip to the seaside might be in order, I think. (Mers-le-Bain might be nice in the sunshine, too)
