#OldFoxAdventCalendar
The Seventh Window. It was a glittering, snow-swathed Sunday morning of pale sun and wood-smoke and summon bells. After a hearty breakfast, Old Fox walked up to the Sheep Church, pausing on Maygad Hill to call down to the Little Girl's Aunt who was walking along a lower track. She decided to come with him and they talked happily of Christmas and the village carol concert and the research for her book on local folklore. A little robin greeted them at the porch, singing a high and rather ancient song of frozen ground and barrows and hidden gold. Inside, it was very still and a beautiful sea light fell through the blue soda windows onto the uneven stone floor. The Little Girl's Aunt sat down on a chancel pew, and Old Fox stood for a while in the silence. Then he lit the second Advent candle in the tangled wreath on the altar, and it flared straight and golden and steady. This one is for Peace, he told the Little Girl's Aunt and the robin and the faint, lonely ghosts of that lonely chapel. For Peace.

In case you were in any doubt about how brilliantly ridiculous this cat is from the thread below, I thought I would post this exclusive video clip as absolute confirmation.

He had brain damage and was told he had to be put to sleep.

Today I took Stormzy to run on the beach.

I promise this will set you up for the weekend ❤️

It was half past six and pitch black in the hamlet when Peter woke. From his bed, he could still see a cold, white scatter of stars & there was noble Jupiter high and kingly and benevolent in the west. His mother had lit a fire in the little grate and he quickly washed and dressed and packed his satchel. Marbles and cigarette cards were as vital as his Latin homework, and were placed and checked with care. He had a good selection of cards to swap that week, courtesy of the Doctor, who always saved them up for him. He clattered downstairs to the kitchen and breakfast: porridge with cream and warm, white doorsteps and butter. His mother's breakfasts were always the best. She had the knack, like Old Fox and the Bears, of making even the most humble food taste delicious. When he wheeled his bicycle to the village road, the sky was lightening into that very particular blue of late November mornings and the grass was stiff and glittering with frost. "Be careful on the ice," called his Mother, and he called back, "I will!" and he was off, careering down the hill, the magnificent view of the village and the downs and sea before him, his breath billowing, face stung by the cold – oh, what it is to be young and happy on the sacred edge of Christmastide!

Collapsed and then attacked by hyenas, this elephant needed a helping hand.

Time was running out. After a truly harrowing experience, the bull was saved.

They were 2 of the very first dogs I ever saved. Britney and King Whacker were as good as dead.

To see them meet up this week in Scotland brought a little tear to my eye. Look at their little jackets for the cold!
