Bog Myrtle & Peat

It’s been an extremely long day up in Glasgow, but before crashing out altogether, I wanted to celebrate the fact that this blog now has two new contributors. After an aeon spent searching through Stenhousemuir, Skinflats and Camelon for the location of a specific ferret breeder, my girlfriend and I finally managed to track him down and purchase a pair of seven week old jill ferrets.

Without wishing to slight my silver ferrets, I’ve always wanted ferrets which were as physically close to wild polecats as possible. I think that I have finally suceeded, because not only are these terrific little brutes every bit as pretty as their wild counterparts, but they also seem to be just as coarse and as unmanageable. Within seconds of getting them home, they mauled my socks and carried out raids on my shoes.

I simply can’t write any more today, but rest assured that these two little blighters will feature again on this blog soon.
