We've met a fair number
of van people who had a pet along with them for the ride, for company
and security. Many rescue a stray dog on their travels – the Dutch
and German from Spain, and the Spanish from Turkey – it's just not
the done thing to rescue an animal from your own country.
But when we heard
strange rustlings outside one evening, we didn't think that we had
acquired a little French pet of our very own … it was only on
closer inspection of the battery compartment that a selection of
leaves, soft rubbishy bits and half-chewed acorns were found.
Perhaps we should be
thankful that Mousey had acorns rather than decide to chew on any
wires, and that the rumblings of the engine scared Mousey out of his
/ her new home, before we had to issue cruel eviction orders.
Or
rather, we think he / she has been scared away .. was that noise
coming from outside, or under the bonnet?!
