On 15th August, Smudge the Squirrel nibbled his last nut. Shortly thereafter he was flattened by a landing B52 bomber at Brize Norton airbase. He was best known for his stirling work in the Forestry Commission. He leaves all his worldly chattels, including his collection of acorns, to Skid the Badger. His father Xerxes the Squirrel, is holding a short service at St John the Baptist, Burford. You can pay your respects there... or on www.roadkilltoys.com where his remains will be sold as the next designer squash-plush teddy. Look out for Smudge in early July.
