Laying in the sun with her paws stretched at all angles, her grey and white fur gleaming in the rays of light. This would be one of the rare times my cat Bronte is being peaceful. Smaller than the average cat, with a slim body for hunting, her once blue turned Hazel eyes are wise and calculating.
 * Something that's important to me right now**
 * My Cat Bronte**

It wouldn't be a normal morning for me to walk into the kitchen and not be swiped at by Bronte in a playful mood. She either sleeps on my bed or in her own bed, depending on whether she's happy with me or not. She has a strong personality and gets aggravated if she's disturbed from her sleep or grooming.

Hunting is one of her favourite past times. She catches mice and sometimes birds. She's extremely adventurous and loves exploring new places, even if it lands her in trouble. I often walk outside to hear her meowing, finding she's climbed onto the roof and can't find her way back down. Another of her adventurous trips was when she was only a kitten, and she loved climbing in car motors. When mum took off for work she didn't realise she'd taken Bronte with her, and we found her hours later a street from our house hiding in a hedge, miraculously with no injuries.

Bronte is important to me because she is an adorable cat who's always there to cuddle! __**Small Object Big Story:**__ My great grandfather, Alfred Gifford. He made it in 1926. Alfred Giffor was a ??? Where and when was he born? what did he work as? Where did he live? How many children did he have? Obviously he had a talent for wood work After Alfred built it he kept it, when he passed away his daughter, Carmel Gifford kept it, until she passed away and my mother now owns it. So when did he make this? Where did carmel live? Any brief, interesting stories about her life? Only Australia. My great grandfather was a talented furniture maker, and he built furniture in his spare time to help his mother financially during the great depression. Awesome opportunity here Chloe, to recount a few stories about the hardships, the food, the sacrifices, entertainment, transport etc from the depression times. Alfred Gifford, Carmel Gifford, Janet Dalton. It's always been kept in the home of it's owners. It's owners have stored valued china in it over time. It's always been used to hold good crystal and dinner sets. The only care or change has been when the owner's have cleaned it. The glass takes the most cleaning. It's precious to my mother because it was handmade by her grandfather. It seems to be the same, but it's probably aged a fair bit. When my mum was younger she remembers her mother heating a special glue on the stovetop for her father-in-law to construct furniture he made. Chloe could you get a little bit more detail on this? This is an interesting story too. media type="file" key="Final skills photo story.wmv" align="center"
