Sol and Ruby at Christmas 14

Munch and Nerys were put on cleaning duty. They were not exactly naturals at it, but they did their best as they were sorry to see Ruby so upset.

Sol was at his wits end, so he called Stripey, perhaps she could help to console her mother. In the end it was decided that she would send Meep and the Hedgehogs over early, to help get things organised.

Ruby came downstairs early to see what her tree looked like in daylight...this is what she found. There was a shriek and the rapid pounding of cat paws running out into the garden. Sol heard all this, but he was nice and cosy in bed and just about to go back to sleep...
