Along with number one and number three granddaughter I tried tree hugging last week. Number one said she could hear the tree moving (no spiritual messages there), number three at six probably thought we were both mad but was too polite to say so and I found the bark horrendously uncomfortable, it being a very old tree. So not a huge success but perhaps we need practice. Hopefully the tree enjoyed the experience.

Update on the urban fox.
He's been back a few times this week but mostly at night as the weather has been wet and windy. He comes up the street at about 10.00pm each evening and works his way around the gardens. This morning he brought a girlfriend back at 5.20am! They were making moaning noises on my back lawn and I thought they had captured something to eat but they disappeared quick as lightning when I drew back the curtains to investigate.

I'm hoping they wont mate as I've experienced a garden full of cubs all pooing into the one flower pot!! Not pretty.
