Photo of the Week: Tabby takes power nap with Charlie Flindt

This week we take a break from lambing to catch up on forty winks with Tabby the cat, chilling with the help of Charlie Flindt’s book as a pillow.

It was sent in by John Fryer of Manor Farm in Bathley, an avid reader of Charlie Flindt’s books.

Tabby and her brother, Bertie ,are 18-month-old farm cats and very fussy eaters – and clearly, discerning when it comes to reading material.

John is a fan of Charlie’s writing and says: “I like the fact Charlie’s stories are similar to things happening here. His books would have made my parents laugh if they were still here.“
