Having worked at RHS Garden Wisley for so many years, I’ve been privileged enough to witness wildlife of all kinds, particularly those who make themselves scarce during the busy hours when the Garden is open, but then make an appearance when things quieten down. One such guest, of course, is a fox that I regularly see in various parts of the Garden on my travels through the seasons. Indeed, over the years this fox has become really quite bold and even ventures out during daylight hours from time to time presumably to see if any leftovers are on the menu or perhaps even simply for a turn around the grounds.  When it comes to this story, there is the flavour of an altruistic sense to the tale, with companionship for the sake of companionship; a trait sometimes neglected in today’s society.  Be like fox and look out for each other.  Fear has no place in this world and so I like to think, like Fox, anyone would play a guardian role if needed, being a friendly ally that could be called upon by those in trouble, although eating left over sausages off the ground is probably left to our aforementioned furry friend.
