I've been weeding the "rockery" which is a grand name for a pile of rocks that were heaped over the roots of a horrible conifer that was here when we moved in. The rocks have been remodelled frequently but, whatever shape they're in the bindweed and brambles find their way through.
Whilst I was doing that, helped by the chooks and dogs, all was well - but after putting the chooks back in their run, I realised that Spud was missing. Bess knew where he was, and so did Ted and, with their help I found him - in next door's garden, which, like mine, backs on to horse fields. He came to the fence when I called, and I hauled him over but he stank - fox with a dusting of horse manure!
He's been bathed and I'm just as wet as if I'd been in the sink with him!!
