Wilbur gave us a scare a few weeks ago when he appeared to be losing strength in his legs. We took him to the vet who wondered if he had slipped and sort of splayed his legs, pulling muscles. So…

We’re at the height of ‘bat, bat, bird’, when bats and birds are out flying around at the same time. We are seeing them both in the morning and in the evening. I think we must be either walking a…
