OF SIMON & THE LOG PILE VILLAGE
the Real Story
The Log Pile village
In a quiet corner of Yorkshire,
a most unexpected friendship began on a typical day in 2018. Wildlife photographer, Simon Dell, was relaxing in his garden when out of the grass popped a rather curious mouse named George. Serendipity, perhaps? We believe so, for as quick as a wink, a remarkable friendship, fit for a fairytale, blossomed. Their charming story has since kindled a sense of wonder and imagination in hearts worldwide.
