Scorcher

 It's been a bit of a scorcher today, even here at the coast. We had a suitably lazy start to the day and then the Silver Vixen smothered herself in sun cream and headed out to potter in the garden. The Gorse Fox remained in the cool of the study and did some more work on the family tree for a while.

By late morning, the Gorse Fox joined the Silver Vixen in the garden and, mounting the stepladders, he went about dead-heading the climbing rose. There isn't much he's good at in the garden, but cutting into plants is a definitive skill.


We spent The next few hours sitting in the sun and reading. This was only interrupted by the cheerful sound of children playing nearby and a knock at the door that turned out to be Urban-cub, Ellie, the Princess and her children. It was nice to see them after so long... in fact, for the youngest, it was the first time we had seen her. They didn't stay long as Ellie was eager to take them to the park.
