The Big Eared Koala

The are a very rare breed.
I found this one in my garage ........ hiding in the Laburnum - no idea why he wasn't in the Eucalyptus. Maybe he thought the lit flame above him would distract me.

See the extras for what counts as an explanation .... along with the Holly piece that was given a finish of wax today.

We got a video call from No1 son this afternoon. Butterfly and Bunny were with him, but they were far too busy playing in the giant sandpit at the local nature reserve to say much more than 'Hello' and 'Goodbye'.

Not long after the video call Squirrel turned up needing a lift home with all her martial arts gear. Apparently she is going to be doing demonstrations to all the classes (along with a couple of others and their instructor) over the next couple of weeks.
