Paul Callus November 19, 2014 at 4:49 PM Hi Jan...I love squirrels and I like to see them carrying things in their hands. Every time we go abroad we nearly always encounter some and many of them are quite tame.

David Meade November 18, 2014 at 8:03 AM I watched squirrels gather acorns all weekend - hard working which will be rewarded on a cold night when they are sitting by the fire eating salted acorns drinking nog!! nicely done and of course I like the compactness of this style! Jan Allison November 18, 2014 at 10:23 AM Thanks David - the form is for a contest and is quite challenging using so few words to paint a picture:-) It had to come from memories of the UK - we have no squirrels on the Island :-(Hugs Jan xx
