oh a baby squirrel nutkin ~ no photos tony???
suppose you are still enjoying the cucumber sandwiches or did the squirrel eat those too??

Ohh poor Valerie! That must have been a right old shock! It's a wonder she didn't drown it with plant food! Or your mug of Tetleys! Still there's nothing like a nice mug of somebody else's tea to get over a surprise like that! Where was it? In the periwinkle? Squirrels are quite cute wee things, but when they're young they're a bit 'mousey' looking, I would probably have shrieked so loudly, you could likely heard me over there! Hopefully she's all settled now, but I think it would be the gentlemanly thing to do by accompanying your good lady on her feeding rounds until she's happy again!
Did you try the weedkiller on your patio yet? And is the gardener doing a good job on your lovely lawn? Are all the cuttings fit and well? I'll speak to you again soon, Tony, take care!x

Oh my!!!! I love squirrels but I would have reacted in pretty much the same way, you don`t expect them to jump out at you, lol, one does wonder who got the biggest scare tho, cos the little one obviously wasn`t expecting a shower..I have to say I think your ladywife spoils you Tony, the amount of time she is bringing you food and drink.
Very nice photo`s...

Tell you what if you've ever been bitten by a grey rodent and needed stitches and a jab up the bottom. You would have hit the b****y thing with your spade.

LOL grannyb ,poor you.

Oh dear,Tony..sorry,but I laughed about Valerie drinking your tea.Lol...what else is a girl to do,in the circumstances..? Bet you managed the sandwiches ok..!!
Little Squirrel was probably scared stiff too..glad he didn't share the cuppa . :o))

Your good lady really looks after you,even if she did drink your tea.I bet it give her a shock. Still at least all the planks are in order especially after Elizabeth went across them full of hot chocolate and my plum cake!

path clear worked fine Elizabeth thankyou for tip. Hope all is fine in your garden. Will not let val near baskets now she is extremely sensitive and i should have known better , but i did,nt think a squirrel would get up to those things. Could,nt use my camera either as it happened so fast. Take care Tony

Hi bloomer I have been warned to steer clear of squirrels and to avoid all contact. I am proud to say my Tetleys is not to be shared with any wild life or my cucumber sandwiches will be withdrawn(LoL) . Take care enjoy Tony

Hi Rose Yes she was indeed very shocked but neither of us thought that squirrels were like that. Fancy falling asleep in a basket. All is fine now thoughbut i manage the feeding of plants now. Take care enjoy Tony
