The dance of Mr Swirly Squirrel...


Down where the woods are (no not that way that's where Mr-kindly-next-door-neighbour lives), the other way where Mr Marmalade resides (when he is in that is he is often down the bottom fields sniffing Daisys). There is an elusive hardly ever seen bold, bright red Mr Swirly Squirrel.

He is very shy but if your lucky you can catch a glimpse of him though the thicket on the floor of the woods.

He is so vibrant the bright, bold orange really stands out against the dull in comparison yellow, brown and in the summer green grass and broken bits of branches.

I caught a glimpse of him today it's like watching a flame dancing around, through up and down along the ground he goes.  Then he is gone as quickly as he arrives.

He is so elusive people are doubting his existence.  "Mr Squirrel they say no I've not seen him".  But not everyone gets to see him. But honestly he is there. When you are next down the woods (no not that way the other way) you to might get to see Mr Swirly Squirrel and wonder and marvel at his swirly, twirly, twisting, dancing too.

Mr Marmalade Finds Courage

Mr Marmalade Finds Courage
Mister Marmalade is a friendly old cat who has two things he must always remember every day; one never to go backwards into bushes as he often gets stuck, and two, never ever in sunny weather walk past Miss Furry's fence. Unfortunately for Mister Marmalade, he, forgot one of those two things on this fine sunny day! Also available in Canada, USA & Japan. (As well as the UK.) Please use there respective stores to purchase them in those places. Above is the UK Link.

Helen Lewins is an author. Helen was born in Northumberland but due to the closure of the coal mines, her parents moved the family to North London to take up work as publicans. After school, she started an apprenticeship with an electrical engineering medical company where she worked for many years as a Service Engineer. With a calling for something else more creative she went travelling in the UK and worked the summer in a hotel on the Jurassic Coast. This led her to study hospitality management and after graduation, she took on a role as a hotel Manager back in Northumberland. Then her life changed forever and along came her beautiful son. It became obvious early on that he was developing at a different rate from his peers. He had limited speech until he was eight years old. Eventually, after quite a long journey he was diagnosed with Autism. That is when Helen started to write about Miss Furry to entertain her son as it was based on their pet cat. It has been a very personal journey for them both and Helen hopes that Miss Furry brings joy to other children. Helen and her Son live in Northumberland with Miss Furry who does indeed spend her days patrolling the fence.
