Busy Squirrel

Today we had our first 'proper' rain since the beginning of June ..... the gardener is delighted evenlthough it really is too late now. However, for some reason, our local squirrel decided that it was a good day to start collecting walnuts!

'He' spent most of the day coming down from our tree alley, across the rear courtyard, over the wall into JJ and Nadine's and off, we think, to John and Lesley's garden where there is a walnut tree. We think that's where he's going as it's the only walnut tree in the vicinity. Certainly, it's walnuts he's after as he does the return journey with a walnut in his mouth!

PS I had a phone call from my doctor this afternoon saying that I should expect a call from Toulouse hospital. It seems that they've finally sorted out what my problem is, (very rare), but they are ready to start a course of treatment. We'll see when we get the call!!
