Sent child to school for WBD as Sylvia from Wolves of Willoughy Chase; teacher has never heard of it 😬

I am declaring war on the squirrels. They ate all the greengages on the greengage tree, all the apples on the apple tree, have dug up potatoes and bulbs and now they have eaten all the olives on the olive tree. I can't imagine they were nice. I hope they squirrels feel very very sick

This is my treasured Estemmenosuchus, that I bought somewhere in Germany. Unfortunately, it's now a favourite of the baby's too. I fear for its wellbeing (the Estemmenosuchus's wellbeing - the baby can look after himself)

There was half a muntjac deer outside the field today. This was very alarming, but now it's gone. It's sad, as we know and like the muntjac, but it also suggests some pretty fearsome predator is around. Gulp
