scent

After a dark and miserable looking day, the sun suddenly burst out lighting the up river so out to the local grocer - he is so kind he always takes me across the bus ridden road. Leaving the flat,down six steps,across the courtyard feeling the edges with my two sticks,there is a disgusting smell of fox. He nust have been there fairly recently according to the height of his scent. I think he trotts all the way down the road to Hurlingham Club to join his friends who have a field day by the lake where the fat ducks are so well fed by members! So on to our main gate where there is a wonderful scent - mimoso, spring must be coming, our winter flowering tree must be flowering I hope not too soon!
