A Grey Day

A grey squirrel feasting on the front hedge field maple samaras. I took it through the window while I was at the computer proof reading a letter that our family nursery tenant plans to send to Essex police.

Every year, as soon as it appears, my daughter asks me what I think of the John Lewis Christmas ad. This year's theme is sisterly love and it made me cry because of thoughts of how recently my sister and I bonded as we stood (literally) shoulder to shoulder to repel my errant nephew and his mob from our family nursery.
