  • Jog On!
    In the last episode of Series 1, Kit talks about her grandest (and arguably stupidest) scheme of the year, and looks forward to ideas for the next series. (Disclaimer on the fox story: What I did is most probably not the correct way to rescue an animal. I only did what I did because the Fox was in immediate danger and after assessing the situation I didn’t believe it was in a fit enough state to bite/scratch/fight me. If you find yourself in a similar situation, please follow the advice of the RSPCA or your local animal rescue service).
