On closer inspection it became obvious. The fox had not been dancing alone. The Queen of Winter, who loves him so, had frozen the pond especially to dance with her russet darling. In a moment of careless abandon she discarded her crown in the garden. It has begun to melt.
Happy Christmas Jackie. See you in Norfolk in Feb.

Wonderful story and with your usual exquisite poeticism. I've been noticing fox paw-prints in the snow around here too.
