As I waited for my fellow walker, this morning, at the green triangle by the church,I was surprised and moved to see a photograph of Nigel on the gardening club notice board.

After referring him to the local vet and posting his picture on social media he was pronounced an “orphan” and we took him in – gladly. Heather always had a cuddle with Nigel when she came to The Gables and she followed his antics closely on the blog.

I think Heather would have been amused, this evening, to see Nigel up to his old tricks
