The Foxer

Trevor almost got himself shot on Sunday. Me, Roman, and Maxine were in the Green Man enjoying preprandial pints, when Henry Lord came in ranting about a “devil's daffodilly” that had been panicking his ewes in Bottom Acre. As we're the only triffid owners in the neighbourhood we guessed it was probably Trevor, and, sure enough, it was. We eventually found the runaway in one of the old mushroom sheds on the Chipstable road, and after lots of fun and games got him in the horsebox and back home. It turns out the cunning bugger had escaped by rolling a fascine of fencing stakes into the ha-ha. It will break Helen's heart but I think we're going to have to tether him overnight from now on.
