Awwww! :D This has left me with a great sappy smile on my face, thank you!
I love the image of little Sammy curled up with Ivanhoe at the foot of his bed. My cats are never so well behaved - they'll stretch out and force me to the end more often than not. Annie's thoughtful gift is lovely too.
And it's just like big Sam to get upset over nothing - Gene hasn't forgotten, he's just waiting to reveal the surprise! There had better be lots of ice-cream and cuddles and pool-table competitiveness in Blackpool. :)
Thank you. I'm sure Blackpool has come up in conversation: Gene boasting about all the birds he'd pulled when he and his mates went there; Sam saying he'd enjoyed his childhood trips, with a certain wistful tone.
Adult Sam continues to be convinced that he's right until something brings him up short. It's a good job there's still someone around to deal with the inevitable tears.

Any cat we've owned has been of the opinion that the pillow is there for them.
And of course there will be ice cream and beer and fish and chips and cuddles in Blackpool.

I wonder if Sam has mentioned Blackpool to Gene before :)
