The squirrels have left the building......

.....well almost anyway, seeing as their bags are checked in and they're currently in the departure lounge spending their holiday money on duty-free acorns......they're moving 10 miles west up the road to Heaton at the weekend and I've been giving them a bit of a farewell dust-off.

But first off let's get this clear, I really DON'T approve of taxidermy, these stuffed squirrels were 'rescued' when the late hubby was the Energy Conservation Engineer for a nearby local authority about 35 years ago (he was doing a mandatory furnace inspection at a local school, they were on top of a pile of stuff waiting to be fed to the fiery jaws of said furnace, the outcome was inevitable.....he was SUCH a softie;-))

Custodianship is officially being passed over to the firstborn and partner.....I wish them luck with the bottom squizzers tail, it's only attached with a drawing pin and periodically falls off, usually when you're least expecting it.....
