Our little Wrens, who built a nest above the till, successfully  reared their brood of three chicks. I checked the nest on Monday morning and was  really upset to find it empty – I’d seen squirrels nearby the day before and  thought they’d carried out a raid. After last week’s events it made me feel  thoroughly miserable. Fortunately, later that afternoon there was a shower and  Sapphy, the young daughter of a customer, was about to help herself to a pink  umbrella from the stand when she found one of the chicks trapped in its folds.  The chick was released and managed to fly away, fully fledged, hopefully to  catch up with its siblings. Now there’s a heart warmer.
