Up the road, afternoon.

On the road by home, some fox poo, full of mirabelle stones. The mirabelle trees are some way away, so the fox's range must be quite as large as ours.

I don't know what a mirabelle tree looks like, so I'm curious, now, about mirabelle stones (and how they might decorate fox poo).

I didn't know foxes ate fruit!

Our dog Fang (scary name but a gentle soul he was) once ate the red leather bowtie from atop my mother's houseshoe. It came out perched atop the poo pile and was a topic of conversation in the neighborhood for years after.

PS: I forgot Aesop's fable, The Fox and the Grapes.

Senior moments are awful.

Foxes eat anything I think, they certainly like fruit, and maize cobs too. You can usually see what they've been eating by their poo! A mirabelle tree is just a rather delicate, shrubby looking plum tree. There's a hedge of them planted a mile or two down the road, and they're fruiting well at the moment. They aren't really native hereabouts.

R - that made me laugh! There was that Cranford story about the cat that ate the precious lace collar...
