Mrs Brenda Crimwallop (library assistant) was a bit reluctant to let Meep in, but Bertie Bookworm ( chief librarian) said it was all right as her library card was still valid.

Having visitors was lovely, but lying down with a damp towel on his head after they had gone was almost blissful.

Day 24
Meet Meep. She seems to have adopted Spotty when he came back from Holiday. I don't think he minds. If you say Meet Meep really fast that's what Meep sounds like.

Day 23 Bonus
Preview of a small piece of my next large watercolour of Spotty Fox...I'm at the drawing out stage and it's taking forever, but I really love doing it ! And who is that cat ???
Tuesday 11 August 2015
Day 22 Bonus
Spotty fox has been looking through his family albums and he wants you to meet Gérard who is his Great Grandfather on his mother's side. He was indeed the king of cheese, from his grin to the extremely artisanal nature of the cheese itself...
Day 22
When Spotty got back to his house he found he almost needed a machete to get to the front door, the weeds had grown so much.
Monday 10 August 2015
Day 21
When Spotty finished his second sandwich he suddenly remembered that Lesser Foxton was only ten minutes away by train from his home at Little-Hollow-on-the-Mold. He texted his Stripey friends immediately and said he would come and see them next weekend.
Day 20
It was an emotional farewell at the station, but Spotty said he would write and come back next year.
Day 19
Spotty was due to go home the next day, so the Stripeys took him out to have some spaghetti at the local Italian cafe.
Day 16
The Stripeys came up with a new collective noun after Spotty took a selfie with them all in it - a squeeze of foxes
Day 15
When Spotty's new friends took him line dancing, he found that the light from the disco ball made everyone look spotty.
Sunday 9 August 2015
Day 14
After slicking down his curls, Spotty went for a restorative cream tea with his Stripey friend, and was still at the optimistic stage when you think you can eat everything on the table.

Day 13
This style wasn't quite what Spotty had had in mind when he went to the hairdresser to be de-fluffed.
Day 11
Spotty can't swim, but his new friend invited him to the swimming pool. Now he realised that the sixteenth croissant had probably not been a good idea, fifteen would have been plenty.
Day 10
The next morning Spotty was stuffing himself with second breakfast at the local cafe, when he got talking to a young stripey fox, he quite enjoyed himself.
Saturday 8 August 2015
Day 7
Spotty can't stand the pace any more, so he's come on Holiday for a bit of a break from Stripey avoidance.
