BEES KNEES TEAS
Injured squirrel makes himself at home with his kind rescuer
BEES kept at Cardiff University are making a special manuka-style honey to add to tea in hospitals in a bid to fight superbugs. A SQUIRREL has become tree-mendous pals with the women who saved him and nursed him back to health.
Mandy McKenna, 42, found Horatio lying injured on a verge after he was hit by a car.
She took him home to recover, and he will not leave. Horatio, rescued last month, clambers around the house, sits on the sofa with Mandy and has even started storing nuts around her as he prepares for hibernation.
Shop worker Mandy, from Shepton Mallet, Somerset, said: FURRY FRIEND Mandy McKenna & Horatio “He’s so funny. When I watch TV he sits on the back of the sofa and hides nuts in my hair. I have tried to release him, but he keeps coming back.”
She also takes him out in her handbag, including to her local supermarket, to the amusement of shoppers.
Mandy added: “It’s impossible not to laugh when you are with him.” Horatio the squirrel climbs around Mandy’s home MANDY McKENNA ON HER NEW HOUSEMATE
