For a few years I had this great fox visit my garden – and house if I would allow him in.
He was a very handsome fellow, and I really loved him to bits 
and he loved my shoes 
which he used to nick. He also loved Battenburg cake.
This is how we met. https://annakeiller.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/fox-blog/
He suddenly disappeared, and now I have a grubby and very fat little badger instead. I call her Maggot because of her shape.
I am really worried about her; I grow my own vegetables and I just know she will adore them, too. I picture her somewhere deep in a den with a huge litter of new little Maggots…
I haven’t managed to get a good picture of her yet, but I am trying to capture her in clay
I have given her some hefty claws to dig with…I will smoke fire her in the next few days and post the results.

Such stunning shots Anna! An absolutely adorable little thing and I can see he really enjoyed being there with you. The badger sculpture is gorgeous and so cute. Seems the animals know they are safe around you. You are blessed hon. 🙂

I so enjoyed his company too, Sonel, and I really miss him. yes, I feel very blessed having such great friends – still not sure about Maggot, though…Badgers are determined people and I’ve got these wonderful Maize plants…Don’t reckon I shall see any corn cobs this year…

Dear Ana these are all so interesting and lovely. I didn’t know that fox can be like that, how nice, and how adorable like a dog… I am sad to hear that he disappeared… I hope and wish him to come back again… I know this feeling… there was a lovely cat around my garden and every day she was visiting me… suddenly disappeared… I try to think positive, maybe she had a wonderful owner and home… Your photographs are amazing. And sculpture too. Thank you, with my love, nia

Thank you Nia. I hope your little cat is safe. Yes this fox was very special – apart from the occasional piece of cake I didn’t feed him – he was happy to hang around anyway. I guess someone else must have tamed him. Love to you, too xx

Beautiful meetings with the fox and it must be special to feel the trust from an animal. Can’t wait to see you badger 😉

Hej Per,
I’m about to write a bit about Badger – but only my sculpture of her – I still haven’t got any photos. I imagine she’s gone to ground incubating hordes of little mini-maggots!
