Courier Gwen made a trip transporting a cat to Italy and bringing two dogs to Scotland. Lovely Bella travelled from Sheffield to Tuscany; while gorgeous Broty and Max made the journey from Viterbo to Dundee.
Bella, a cat from England to Italy
Courier Ricardo collected beautiful kitty Bella from her owner Diana in Sheffield. Having organised Bella’s animal health certificate (AHC), he handed her over to courier Gwen for her journey to the Tuscany region of Italy.
Such a shiny jet-black cat
Bella had a lovely roomy bedroom in our van…
…with scenic views of the French Alps
Spotted in Passey: a classic VW
Once Bella was safely ensconced at her Italian home, Diana wrote to say: “Hi Gwen, thank you for delivering our precious Bella to her new home. She’s starting to settle already.”

She enjoyed a proper cappuccino at breakfast
Broty and Max, 2 dogs from Italy to Scotland
Courier Gwen headed south to Viterbo to meet up with littermates Broty and Max, who belong to Francesco and Nikki. Daughter Biba was on hand to give them a proper send-off.

On the way north towards France we spent the night at this lovely hotel in Turin
Walking in the fresh Italian air
Intriguing pottery heads
And colourful plates

The French know how to display wine
We passed through Bresse, famous for its poultry. Created in 1999 and 20m high, this eye-catching steel sculpture is the world’s biggest chicken.
Having crossed the Channel, courier Gwen and the dogs headed north towards Scotland. Lovely Spring daffodils spotted in Grantham.
Idyllic views in Lockerbie

A very happy reunion for Broty and Max in Dundee
Bella is bella. Love that photo with the red nails. I know a preacher who drives an orange Carmen Ghia. He’s driven that car for over 50 years now.
That preacher has good taste!
Gorgeous cat and adorable pups – all back with their owners after AC arranged travel and happy reunions! Love seeing the sights too!
Hugs, Pam
Thanks guys – always good to see!

Courier Gwen does find some wonderful places to stay and photograph.
Cute ^^,
Isn’t she!
Good Morning from Canada friends. I always love to see who your guests are and where they’re going. Today, I find myself a bit teary to see beautiful Bella. She looks so much like our own sweet Blossom that we said goodbye to just a week and a half ago. I’m so happy to see Bella back on her momma’s lap enjoying life and love. Had a nice visit through Italy with you here, it’s like a mini vacation :), and what about that car! Saucy little orange unit. Cheers to you
So sorry to hear of Blossom’s passing – she featured often in your blogs. Gorgeous girl. Yup, it is a saucy little orange unit!
Such a great reunion and what a wonderful trip you all had, Bella and sweet doggies ♥ Loved the pictures 🙂 Double Pawkisses for a Happy and Safe trip ahead, Annie 🙂 ♥
Aren’t the reunions good to see!
