In the Burrow

• It takes 4 attempts, but eventually Mr Coypu makes it onto the road & down to visit the Dowager Lady Coypu at the seaside.

• I explain to the Coypette about the Berlin Wall coming down 20 years ago today & show her these: the bits of it that the first Mr Coypu brought home for me.


• She says, "That's not very long ago. Things had already started moderning, hadn't they?"

I say, "Moderning?"

She says, "You know, like mobile phones."
