Have you seen any foxes...? Happy New Year


A Very Happy New Year to all friends & family and anyone who reads this blog.
We celebrated the coming of 2009 over a few days with family and friends and neighbours in various ways,all of which were most convivial and enjoyable. We will not bore you with the details of these intimate times spent by relating names, places and details apart from an anonymous event which was amusing to all who were there.
The aspects of local wildlife came into the conversation and a long term friend and partner, who live in woodlands, enquired of my wife if she sees any foxes in China?
She thoughtt for a moment and then said "Yes, in zoos", then added helpfully "and in restaurants". Our friends at first looked puzzled but then their expressions turned into one of slight shock and horror as it dawned on them that the restaurant inclusion meant that fox was on the menu!! My wife then laughed to cover her embarassment and apologised to them, bless her. Thankfully it was all taken well and the evening continued in a harmonious state.
