Courier Richard recently made two Channel hops, collecting four cats on the first one, and two dogs on the second.
Spike, Basta, Cleo and Korky
This fab feline quartet hail from the Lot et Garonne. After 20 happy years in France, where the cats have enjoyed a wonderfully rural location, owner Janet and her husband are moving back to the UK to live in Cornwall.
Spike, Basta and Cleo consented grudgingly to join our road trip, while Korky did all he could to avoid it completely.
Stunning furry Cleo
Beautiful grey Basta
Handsome tabby Spike — like many travelling cats, he decided to settle in his litter tray
Korky — a fabulous bundle of ginger, rather than the black-and-white cat fans of ‘The Dandy’ might have been led to expect. Korky’s resistance to travelling meant we kept a very close eye on the security of his transport. He made his position clear from the word go by ejecting most of the litter from his tray, but eventually settled down for the rest of the journey.

Poppy and Charlie
These gorgeous hounds flew in style from Nice to Le Touquet, an airport near Calais. Courier Richard hopped across the Channel to collect Poppy and Charlie and drive them the last leg of their journey into the UK.

As they disembark, big fella Charlie and King Charles Spaniel Poppy were greeted by the airport’s resident Golden Retriever
Wow twenty years – that is fantastic.
Laughing about Korky. He quite obviously disapproved of his move. –Curt
So happy to see this wonderful post!!
I had tried to click on earlier today and couldn’t find you!!
Korky could make me forget my cat allergies…:)
Back to the UK after 20 years. Wow! I love the first kitty photo.
what a cool way to travel… via plane wow!!!!
I hope the cats settled down okay. They are gorgeous but they don’t look too happy about the disruption to their routine!
Well I bet they settle in their new home easily because although it’s got to be a bit scary after 20 years in one place, they have their humans to keep them “centered”! Hope everything turns out for all the travelers.
Hugs, Pam and Teddy too
I LOVE Bernese Mountain Dogs! And boy does Korky give good stinky-eye!
