Our back fence has a convenient fox sized gap in it, and while we were seated on our new " Op-Shop" couch, gazing outwards, the fox slipped into the garden for a glance around.
This is Not our fox, as she didn't hang around for me to find the camera. Though it Might be.....
Thismorning was cold and rainy, so I went for a walk to the parkland. On the way I saw....a grevillea!
The way there has an overpass across the busy road and is mostly through tree-lined paths. You'd hardly know houses were there, but they are, tucked behind the trees.
And the houses are much less attractive than the trees. They are uniform, bare, ultilitarian, even in the more expensive area adjoining the park.
The Park's Railway Station was used in the James Bond film "Octopussy" , and several things since.
There's also a small version children can ride on. The lovely man who was looking after it today spent some time living in Duncraig in Perth, back in 1982.
Then back home for a cup of hot tea. Was it coincidence or fate that led me to choose Fox wrapping paper for David's birthday present, hours before our fox appeared?
Love the foxy coincidence! Fancy seeing grevillea ...
ReplyDeleteYes, the grevillea was almost as surprising as the fox. ( it was really real Wendy). The local nursery sells red bottlebrush, made into small standards.
