New book in progress.

The red squirrels residing on the Osborne estate on the Isle of Wight are back in a new book.

"Secret Life Of Squirrels - The Beginning'

We meet young Albert Red and his friend Rufus Red, they are always up for an adventure. But will marriage to Victoria calm Albert down? Probably not. His future mother-in-law, Charlotte, is horrified, she wants her daughters to marry 'a squirrel of royal descent and good breeding'. As her husband the hen pecked husband, Henry points out "The toffee nosed lot who live near the big house."Albert on the other hand, is irrepressible and Charlotte despairs for her daughter, Victoria who is also expecting her first kittens with him.

Elsewhere, Maurice and Perri Mole are having their own dramas as are the Rabbit family. There are days on the beach, the rescue of young kittens from a broken dry, among other dramas and the daily lives of the animals and birds are explored.The squirrels, animals and birds lead a secret life that humans know nothing of, the community is friendly, and they help each other, whether it is gathering food for the communal store or having parties and concerts on the beach.

Meet the original hippy squirrel Dude and his life partner Rainbow who have dropped out of conventional life in squirrel society and left their 'royal roots' behind them.

What things do squirrels worry about? What concerns them? Find out when the United Federation Of Squirrels meets at the community hub on the beach and squirrels have been flown in from all over the U.K by Goose Airways.

There is always something going on in the little community and more mischief once Albert and Victoria's son, Noble, is born, a force to be reckoned with, "Noble means well but...." as his mother often laments.

This book reflects human life in the respect with environmental concerns, housing for the squirrels and the need for food stores for the less able animals to find their own over the winter months.

It's a work in progress and I hope to have it printed soon as a prequel to 'The Secret Life Of Squirrels.'
