During the few days following my Hastings open studio I lounged around the house and garden a lot, sleeping most of the time. I haven’t been this exhausted for years. I was sleeping amongst some trees in my garden when I felt someone nibbling at my hair.


And my feet! A playful fox cub whirling around me like a dry leaf in the wind.
Wishing to play.
My cat, General Major Eagleburger, Skittle, for short, came to investigate the commotion. But he is an old gentleman by now so the two of them just glared at eachother for a while.
And then I went back indoors to sleep where it was less crowded.

Love these photos! They are beautiful creatures for sure. And what a cool thing, sleeping among the trees and given a gift with a visit by baby fox!
Thank you Ceci – it was really lovely and special.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments xxx
Gorgeous photography.
In Australia foxes are considered feral and wildlife killers – i believe cars kill more wildlife on roads than foxes do.
My mother lived on a farm for a while and a family of foxes adopted her while my father was overseas,and being my mum, she fed the foxes very well.
I think they’re wonderful little beings.
In England too some people regard foxes as vermin and kill them for sport – But they are as intelligent and personable as dogs, don’t you find? You don’t even need to feed them – they can do that for themselves unless they’re hurt or sick…I’m glad you like them, too
