<\/a>I have heard of grey squirrels, I have heard of red squirrels . . . but until today, I ain\u2019t never heard of no BLACK squirrels. This was the view from my window at breakfast this morning!\n

Like the poor grey squirrels of England, these little fellas are being blamed for the demise of their red squirrel cousins. It\u2019s all because they get down from the trees and go hunt food \u2013 that\u2019s what makes them successful!<\/p>\n

This is the area of Toronto where I stayed last night. Apparently there are few areas like it anywhere in North America- a vestige of colonial Victorian life. It was great to wander around for a few minutes and see the area where Andrew Fountain is planting a church.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>
The Fountains have a pet iguana \u2013 seen here with its owner- Jessica Fountain.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>
I was quite struck by this building \u2013 coated with gold leaf! If this was in the UK it would probably get nicked! $\"Posted$ <\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
