What was Gran to do? Her little family was happy but now there was Gran, three cats, a fluffy doggy and sometimes even a mouse. "We need a bigger house", thought Gran, "somewhere pretty with lots of hills and flowers, it will be our new home". She's found a house that's built of stone, with a straw roof which Gran had grown. "How are we going to get there, Gran? I know someone who has a van".
Even the move to Gran's new home was an adventure when their removal van picked up an unexpected passenger and as usual someone needs rescuing. These adventures raise so many questions like; Who was the little creature who sneaked into the back of the van? Just what is a Mole Hole, and who's head is so big they found out the hard way. Could GFPC be the hero this time? Read all about the village of Bushy Wood in `Our New Home'.

Hi, I'm Ken Hayward, Author and Illustrator of the Ginger Furry Pussy Cat series. I was born and raised in a mining village in what was the West Riding of Yorkshire, England and while a career in the Coal Mines (Darn `t' Pit) was considered inevitable my parents persuaded me to look further afield.
At 15 years of age I joined the Royal Navy and by the age of 19 I had covered at least half of the globe on an Aircraft Carrier before joining the fantastic world of submarines, almost every day was a unique adventure. The rest of the world came later and I have never lost the fascination of travel and culture.
Fortunately for me the Navy encouraged its younger sailors to write home often and it became a must do that kept Mum and Dad up to speed with a constant barrage of mail. They got the adventure stories from around the world and I kept the poetry to myself at least for the time being.
Seventeen years as a Sailor and the Directorship of two engineering companies to follow, the writing stayed with me. My greatest pleasure came when I taught my little girl to read by sharing the sentences, being patient and taking credit for her first complete unaided page reading. The sudden invasion of our home by a real Ginger Tom cat prompted my first poem, `The Burglar' and now, some 20 years on and with much encouragement from my wife and `that not so little girl' I am fulfilling a dream by sharing my love of writing and art with those who will hopefully enjoy them the most.
