The Last on Foxes:
Made all my foxes now and the last word on foxes from my very good friend who describes himself as having ‘defected to the east’.
The east European foxes he describes are ‘whoppers’ that raid hen houses and abduct chickens, eat sheep etc. Villagers are constantly in a war of attricion against them. Large dogs are brought into households to defend their livestock etc…and foxes are shot on sight!
Here; Red Coats, Horns and a load of horses charging through your cucumber frames is a Fox hunt and we get cross about that, as we dont quite have the same context for foxes as we get our chickens from the supermarket.
But all in all Foxes appear to be a bit of a wind up…And good on em I say, canny dudes wherever they roam.
So I have now moved onto Whitelands Farm: and written ‘Bronze age Burial Mounds’
I tried to order one particular colour tile called ontario from a new supplier and it was x3 the price he quoted me in a conversation 2 weeks ago and it would take a week to get to me …..or he suggested I come and pick them up, then I would get them sooner.
What! and pay another £20 petrol to pick em up…its a no brainer stay with my expensive but very nice existing supplier.
Way back at the steering committee stage I presented a choice of designs and I just thought it would help me with with this new mosaic if I had a look at my other design for this farm. I was amazed to see I had put objects inside the buildings, like spades and tractors. I had put human and animal footprints around the place to indicate life going on there…..it was a bit weird…..the series which were chosen are less wierd.
Back to cracking rocks then.
