Monday was wild and windy. We had an excellent walk along the beach by the raging surf. During the walk, we beachcombed a length of hollow pipe, which we later cut into foot-long sections and sank these vertically into parts of the garden. We then poured Jeyes fluid, a strong smelling sterilising treatment, into the protruding ends of the pipes. Now, have they really lost it, you are all asking? Well, apparantly, moles can't stand the smell of Jeyes fluid, and as our garden is riddled with molehills...watch this space and we will report on our sucess or otherwise in due course.
Today we had two red squirrels in the garden. They went at separate times straight to the nut feeder, which Jane had filled the day before. The feeder has been empty since our last visit two months ago, so they have a very efficient look-out system.
