To Fran and Barry

[Grandad]

Hello to you both. You may remember when you were still in the UK that we used to compare notes on our foxy friends. I just thought I would let you know we still have our annual litter of cubs and this year we have two vixens and one dog. Two wives, he must be a muslim fox
We have not seen the cubs YET but should do very soon. Got this 'selfie' with one of the 'mums' the other evening at supper time, which I thought you might like to see. Hope you are both well.

Lovely to see you back here Grandad... I trust you and yours all all good ?

Momma fox definitely has a very good coat on her but also has a pretty wary look in her eyes too.

I think it was my upstretched right arm having difficulty holding a normal camera that she was wary of LLL. I don't have one of these all singing all dancing smart phones and a 'selfie stick'

I often look in BM but as we have not been to Egypt for more than 2 years there are no immediate questions about how things are there. And I keep up to date reading these topics.

We are both fine and thanks for asking but as octo...... Tempus is bl**dy well Fugiting like Louis Hamiltons Mercedes

I am surprised you haven't 'morphed' into another ID by now......I keep an eye on you and Major Thom

Grandad how lovely to see you and your beautiful foxes, she is really lovely and what a wonderful coat. I really miss ours Have the cubs appeared yet?

Sorry haven't replied before but we are in Crete (came Saturday) & haven't been on the forum since. Tried on the tablet but can't log in so dug out laptop today.

Fran, my first sighting of a cub last evening and again this evening. Don't yet know how many we have this year but they seem to hide under the bushes and will eventually venture out when mum lets them. They still love their jam sarnies and anything sweet. I do give them the odd rabbit (as shot) so they learn to get into it themselves. (Son in Law goes shooting rabbits and gets far more than we want )

What is Crete like? We have been looking for new destinations....

Oh how lovely, maybe you can get some photos once Mum lets them out in the open. Do they like marmite sarnies? Mum used to love them but Missie hated it, which just goes to show how accurate that advert was

We love Crete as long as you avoid the teenage bar resorts it is beautiful and with enough Minoan history sites to keep you occupied and interested. Although we had visited many times over the last 20+ years we spent about 3 - 4 weeks travelling round the island looking for a long stay spot in 2013 & settled on Sitia. Spent a bit over 7 weeks here last year and doing the same this time, but thinking we may stay longer. Woken by a thunderstorm this morning & were like a couple of kids with big grins looking out at it. not something we see at home really Sun was out by 10 though.
