As a present to ourselves after the dreadful lockdown

Foss and I decided to travel to the coast on an express train

The only thing that I found a little disturbing was that Foss had invited Hilda

His favourite mannequin who was also a dedicated nudist

Although we were on own in railway carriage due to social distancing

I was disturbed by Hilda’s nudity her ample breasts and thick golden bush

But this did not faze Foss who was sitting next to me reading about Jeoffry and Eliot’s cats

I closed my eyes and all went well until we reached Hove when Foss announced that he as leaving the train to see friends

He asked if I would be as good as to accompany Hilda to our lodgings and afterwards take her to the nudist beach in Brighton

Aderphos (Foss) was Edward Lear’s pet cat
