The Scene’s ace reporter eric was first on the scene one morning in late April to find the severed head of “Jemima” on the pond side.

She had, of late, been paying court to a “prick eared, bushy tailed gentleman” (all of you other girls be warned!)

All is not lost! Eric reports that “Hector” is now laying eggs but having seen what happened to “Jemima” he is laying them in the pond. Eric reports that they will be fertile as “Jemima” was on duty at the time.

Hey! Surely Eric’s got it wrong. Hector must be Helen and Jemima must be Jeremy or something very fishy is going on in the Sibfords.
