the bait had gone from one of traps, but it might have been the mouse which was in the second trap, or maybe there's a 3rd one around somewhere. I've baited 3 traps now.
I enjoyed the Christmas Craft Fair this afternoon but no one was buying anything. The stalls were full of beautiful, but mostly fairly useless, things, all hand made. It seemed more of a social occasion. A woman was looking at earrings on the stall next to ours but then she said 'Oh I'm not here to buy anything, I didn't bring my purse"! Our stall had made 30€ when I left. I had to get back to feed the horses.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
That's very discouraging @Busy-Lizzie. Mind you, when I see the hours that go into producing crafts and the cost of materials I'm surprised anyone sells anything for a profit or even to cover costs of materials.
@AuntyRach Have never met blue top milk! Here it's hard to find fresh pasteurised but not impossible. It was impossible in Belgium so we've used semi-skimmed UHT for nearly 30 years and now buy "fairtrade" milk from local producers, organic when possible.
@Hostafan and @Allotment Boy - OH was woken in the night by a cat playing with a mouse. Ex mouse now.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Here in France it's the other way round.
in the UK blue top is pasteurized whole milk
Green top is semi skimmed.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Just cleared away a few candles and vases in my lounge to replace with the Winter/Crimbo candles and jars of flowers.
