Courier Sarah recently undertook a couple of short trips, collecting two cats from the Côte d’Azur and a dog from Ancona.
Both cats, Cleo and Sofia, were gorgeous girls who took travelling in their stride. Courier S was responsible for their trip to the wonderful French city of Dijon, where courier Glen took charge of the rest of the journey to the UK.
Cleo
Darling tabby cat Cleo has been living in the vibrant sea port city of Marseille. With her family relocating to Flintshire for work, they asked us to transport Cleo to the UK on their behalf.

When we stopped for lunch, dragonflies made enthralling watching for Cleo

Sofia
Beautiful black puss Sofia is swapping life in a cliff-top villa near Saint Tropez for Dorset, as her owner is relocating to the UK to pursue a master’s in film production.

Roberto
On a separate trip, young Roberto (Robbie to his friends) travelled with courier Sarah from the Italian city of Ancona to London. It was love at first sight, especially given the heart-shaped white patch on the top of Robbie’s head!
Robbie hails from Borgo Pace and has been raised by a British family who have a holiday home there. He’s quite a character and, fortunately, loves being on the road, so thoroughly enjoyed our lengthy drive through Italy and the Alps.
We stopped for the night in the French city of Troyes and took a delightful walk through picturesque orchards. An early start the next morning, and a speedy trip through the Channel Tunnel, meant Robbie was reunited at his new home with his family. They had thoughtfully flown on ahead to make sure everything was ready for Robbie’s lunch and an afternoon play in the park.
Goodbye Robbie, see you very soon!

A craggy scene or, as courier Sarah saw it, a sleeping dragon!
Who stole all the covers?
this eyes!!!! like magic animals ;O) and yes, we saw the dragon too!!!
They are quite magical! Glad you spotted the dragon 😀
What a fabulous group of photos!! I just love Robbie’s “heart” – that is amazing and precious as well. Beautiful cats as well…..and the weather looks PERFECT!
Hugs, Pam
We do love Robbie’s heart. You can imagine that Courier Sarah didn’t mind her trip there too much 😉
All adorable and fantastic photos.
Courier Sarah did take some great shots.
Good luck to Sofia’s owner on the master’s degree in film production, though I’d never be able to swap Saint Tropez for the UK! Robbie is such a cutie – that was the name of my old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel! Lovely photos, glad to see all the furbabies are having safe trips thanks to you all!

That is a difficult swap! It if goes well we’re sure she’ll be more than happy with it.
Exceptional photos.
Thanks. Sarah outdid herself this time.
Beautiful cats, and Robbie too! I do love that heart-shaped marking on his head.
It was a hugely photogenic trip!
Now that Robbie is very special! And the kitties and Europe are looking particularly fine too. And the dragon 🙂
Yes, everything does look so much better in the sun!
Marvelous photos of a couple of gorgeous felines who apparently were quite cooperative. Of course being enthralled with the dragonflies likely helped a great deal. Love the heart on Robbie’s head That has to count far more than wearing one on his sleeve.
Yes, it’s never easy getting good photos of cats but dragonflies are almost as good at attracting attention as dangling a treat in front of a dog 😀
The photography in your posts is excellent.
Sarah sent some crackers.
That’s a special sign, you’re a heartful doggie, Robbie <3 Beautiful kitties too and that Dragonfly…pawsome picture, Annie 🙂 Pawkisses for a Happy Tuesday and week ahead to all of you and safe travels too
Not sure about the dragon, but I found the whale. 🙂 Great macro on the dragonfly. Not surprised that Cleo was interested. “Fly just a bit closer, my beauty.” –Curt
Everything is open to interpretation! Yes, Cleo certainly was harbouring intent 😀
What gorgeous eyes those cats have!
They’re striking.
Funny how the treats of dragonflies help with the lovely portraits. 😀
Indeed! Never so easy to bribe cats 😀
