Red Squirrels

Just back from a really good family break at the Centerparcs resort in the Lake District. A good week to just do dad stuff - and only a couple of hours from home. I didn't realise that red squirrels were still around in significant numbers in the UK, but Cumbria has lots. The amount of effort that forest rangers etc. put into protecting red squirrels is very impressive - but the public are involved too - we were all invited to contact the squirrel-watch team if we saw any grey squirrels in Cumbria.

Autumn colours in the Lake District were fantastic.

Holiday came to a crashing end the minute we walked through the front door to a note complaining about our security system going off all week and an answerphone message asking us to conduct a funeral this week.

But if God is involved in making red squirrels (as well as the grey vermin types) then I guess He will sustain us as we take our places back on the bridge this week.
