A spokesman from the Wildlife Trust announced this morning that the nation's Sammy Squirrels are rather overweight, having over indulged on our Christmas scraps; what a gorgeous vision. However, far from restricting the food that these stealthy thieves so expertly purloin from their feathered friends, he advises that we should continue to provide for all wildlife as Jack Frost may arrive on the scene at any moment. Oh the drama of it all...
Our lives are so closely entwined with the animal and plantlike that surround and support us, at times so stoically present that we simply pass-by without a backward glance. Magnificent, technicolor stories, play out right under our feet. I for one pledge to take some time today to really stop and look at this glorious moment in time, on a rainy January day.
