Thoughts turn to Winter
and an urge to hibernate
to curl up and sleep.

* When I moved to Bristol in the early nineties the Bristol urban fox population was famously thriving, in fact my allotment had the highest density of foxes on record anywhere in the world. It couldn’t last and the double whammy of mange and the introduction of wheelie bins saw the population crash.
Over the years numbers have increased again and this was one of two foxes I saw on my short walk to the station this morning.

The world at their feet
living life, learning, loving
how I envy them
It was my time long ago
and I would love to return
