What's the best thing you've found?

This is a QotW answer Not me, but my dad
Around 20 years ago, when I were but a little Scary, we lived on a farm down near Southampton.

One night my Dad was shutting up the barns when something small, black and furry moved near his foot.
Investigting, my Dad discovered a tiny 2-week old kitten, bedraggled and mewing; it's tiny eyes all glued shut with gak.
No sooner had he picked the wee bugger up when he noticed another one deeper into the bushes by the barn.
He picked that one up too, and popped both mewing bundles into his coat pocket (he's a big softy, my Dad).
Then he noticed a cardboard box deeper into the bush, from which more mewing was coming.

The box contained another 2 kittens, meaning that that evening my Dad brough back 4 ickle bundles of black fluff which the entire family instantly adopted.

We suspect that they were the offspring of a pedigree Persian (all of them being fluffier than a fluffed-up fluffy-thing) and a non-pedigree (which is an instant loss of Pedigree status if the kittens had been declared), so had been cruelly dumped on our land. Luckily Dad found them, and we raised them all to be happy fluffy farm cats, the most long-lived of them managed to live for 18 years and all of them will always have a place in our hearts.

Top find Dad.
