Social Life and Passing Time.

I met a 10-month-old husky on my stroll this evening. He was just bursting to make friends, so make friends we did.

He was pulling his human companion, Julie, along the lane. I don’t think he realised that she didn’t have skids fitted, and huskies will be huskies. Julie is the woman who asked me whether I was ‘the gentleman who lives at…’ when I went to the Hallowe’en bash at the pub last autumn.

‘No, you must be thinking of Fred, my late neighbour. He was the gentleman.’

My leaning gate is now back on its hinges. The farmer was considerate enough to get that one sorted first, so I went and leant on it. And young Andrew, son of Farmer Stan, has started trimming the field hedges. Soon be Christmas.
