The Lady Mouse Who Lost Her Spouse

A little fantasy about a grandma field mouse who is sad and lonely after her children left home, her husband died, and she lost her home when the farmer ploughed up his field.

Gradually she realised that she could reach out and make plans that included her Grand-mice and her friends and plan new adventures and a new life – and be happy again.
