New addition to the Hewitt Collection

Some time ago we were generously gifted a wonderful collection of Frogs for the library and they came with their own stone lilly pad and we were simply instructed to water them regularrly and look after them. Having coaxed and encouraged them for over a year successfully the next visit we were again the fortunate recipients of a family of hedgehogs and this time they were placed in a wonderful field of lavender which simply required regular ploughing to allow the scent to wander round the library.

Yesterday the collection was yet further enhanced by the addition of two new Hewitt Mice, these, it was explained to me are extremely rare and much sought after. The donors have made several expeditions to try and see the mice and despite excellent directions they have either just missed them or they have been away on holiday but at last this time perseverance paid off and they managed to catch two of these elusive creatures.

The two figures , named David and Mark, stand at a small but respectable inch but whilst they are wee and tender creatures now we have been told and assured that with the correctt nurturing and encouragement, regular claret or red burgundy and only the best Mull cheddar will see them blossom and grow. We will do our best!
