Sorry Aly but it was my cat "Button" who bought them into the house & then let them go so she could play with them on a longer basis…….they ran away & hid & now come out to haunt me & leave all their mess around.  steam

yes my cat likes to leave his toys alive in the house and has kindly gifted us with a solitary one at the moment, were just waiting for the 2 furry assassins who have the kitchen staked out to make the effort , but snoozing with one eye open on the top of the puter just isnt convincing me….lol

Mmmmm! ???  Would you feel & act the same way about rats Aly ?  I poison them I'm afraid. If you keep chickens you will surely have these filthy visitors at some point. If you don't kill them they breed (which they do with great vigour).

My house is made of wychert (a mixture of a kind of clay & straw) so I have to be very careful about what lives inside the sheltering walls as any holes start threatening it's stability. It is very expensive to repair as it needs a specialist builder & there are few of these.

well, I have got the Sunday Times but cannot find the 'Life' section (for the life of me!) Have the complete paper including all the usual sections, any ideas where it hides please ?

probably but no rats here as the farmers shoot them. We once had a chap looking like a Mexican bandit who came in search of a large rat reported by our neighbour. He went down to the stream at the back of us where the cows drink and we took off out of the way! Heard he had caught it and it was a bit like a fishermans estimate lol

I am just a big softie but I do swot flies!

Sadly don't have the Sunday Telegraph so had a look on their web site to see if I could find it, but I got lost as if it was Hampton Court Maize (or is it Maze?) so congrats Fn but have given up the chase.

Definitely Maze Chris, though I have seen a maze made of Maize.  I've had a look on line too, but thy don't seem to put the Sunday paper on the web.  Perhaps someone will photograph it for us?

I'll try that again!

Yes, we had an amazing Maize Maze here at Southwold earlier in the year. Thanks for looking TA, glad I am not the only one not to find it..
