The picture may be a bit blurry, but the mind wasn't when we saw this cute French red squirrel this week in Thoiry, a village near Geneva.  We watched it jumping from tree to tree, an area of mostly Oak trees and it seemed to be quite used to people.   I was over there staying with family, and after the squirrel spotting, I got up the Alps to do a bit of skiing.  No squirrels on the pistes though!

As it is nearly Easter, I thought I would write about a squirrel Easter story.  I came cross it on the net and the article is entitled 'Shoplifting squirrel steals Kinder Suprise eggs'.

Apparently, a red squirrel in Finland has been stealing kinder eggs from a shop in the Finnish town of Jyvaskyla at least twice a day.  The shop keeper said "It removes the foil carefully, eats the chocolate and leaves the store with the toy".  The journalist adds that the tiny delinquent, who clearly has no social conscience, leaves the wrapper behind.

The moral of the story is to watch your Easter eggs at all times everyone!!!
