Tim Dowling: our fantastic Mr Fox may have done us a favour

TL;DR

  • The author's garden door is jammed, requiring bins to be moved through the house.
  • Previous attempts to get a builder to fix the door were unsuccessful.
  • Other garden repairs, like a collapsing pergola and rotting raised beds, are also delayed.
  • The author encounters a fox, which leaps towards him.

  • The author insists he fixed the door himself, despite having done nothing, and considers the possibility the fox fixed it.
