Sebastian.
We were in Hanoi when we got the call from our neighbours that our beloved goose Sebastian (I know it’s confusing) had lost her battle with a local fox, it was tough telling our boys. We’d had her since I could hold her in the palm of my hand, she could be irascible at times and the next moment come charging over demanding a hug. This is her giving me the evil eye in the snow before following me around nibbling at my trouser legs. Our foxes have been well fed by us over the years, chickens come and go and that’s fair enough, but I’m not sure I could lose another goose.
