The Diary of a Tame Otter

My book 'Funnily Enough' features the antics of our first two tame otters Bee and Jims. Rudi, another hand-reared otter, can still be found wriggling about inside my mother's clothing.

Having appeared at the Royal Welsh Show he will be at the Royal Berkshire Show, near Newbury this weekend, 19th & 20th September.

He is currently staring in the role of Otto in the movie Scottish Mussel opposite Talulah Riley, Martin Compston and Harry Enfield. It was premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival in June.

the 2015 Diary of a Tame Otter

A Wild Garden in Gloucestershire ~

For everything there is a season,

    a time for every activity under heaven.

A time to be born and a time to die.

A time to plant and a time to harvest.

A time to kill and a time to heal.

A time to tear down and a time to build up.

A time to cry and a time to laugh.

A time to grieve and a time to dance.

A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones.

A time to embrace and a time to turn away.

A time to search and a time to quit searching.

A time to keep and a time to throw away.

A time to tear and a time to mend.

A time ti be quiet and a time to speak.

A time to love and a time to hate.

A time for war and a time for peace.

Ecclesiastes 3 v 1-8
