Nigel …..Come Here NOW!

Strawberry hanging baskets
We’ve got a strawberry plant growing in a basket, hanging from one of trees on the porch, which, I’ve noticed hasn’t been bearing much fruit and which  Nigel seems to have been paying a lot of attention too, so slightly suspicious, I decided to keep Nigel under surveillance, my eye on him ….
Strawberry eating monkey
At first it all looked very innocent, and I felt guilty for having my doubts…..
nom nom nom
…. and then as I watched for a little longer …..
nom
I discovered why our strawberry yield has been so low …..
Monkey eating strawberries
I don’t know who ate all the bananas, but I certainly know who ate all the strawberries!  What are we going to do with him?

You do have to watch them the whole time as they have a tendancy to go tree climbing. hugs Mrs A.

My Grandad used to recite a little ditty to me many years ago "If you ever see a monkey up a tree, pull his leg and think of me!" today I thought of my dear Grandad.... x

He must have cleaned his face very carefully each time.
