Ferret

You never know what you’re going to come across out on a walk. We took a different route through Mote Park only to come across someone carrying a young ferret that she’d found in the woods.

I didn’t know that that ferrets are domesticated pole cats and are often albino, which this one is. Why the ferret was in the woods and who it belonged to we’ll never know. She was going to take it home and post on local community Facebook pages to see if anyone was missing a ferret.

We were having new windows fitted today. Gone are all the old upstairs aluminium windows which we think were fitted in 1985. Tomorrow they will be doing the downstairs windows with the final touch being replacing some equally old weatherboarding. The owner of the company, now 60, was in my first tutor group in my first school in 1976. Older, but still recognisable as the cheeky young 13 year old I remembered from all those years ago.
