A neighbouring farmer in Northumberland got 2 goats to keep the thistles down in his field, & tethered them to a stake with long chains so they wouldn't stray. They didn't like the thistles, so pulled up their stake and stripped the bark from all his roadside trees... they never eat what you want them to eat!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Me not coming on Friday to the log cabin as not very well - I would be hogging the loo
Rained here earlier and a bit yesterday still managed to do some painting on my pallet project - got soaked on Saturday only popped to the station was soaked though rain mac but did think yeah it is raining garden needed the water

Dove we have hedgehog too right to the back door last night I looked out last night as heard a noise and spotted it , so I rushed down the garden to my shed to get the hedgehog patty that I brought ages ago - it was so enjoying it munching away for ages nice big sized hog so fascinating
Here is the time lapse cam pics of the squirrel feeder - had it set up so it would start the next day early and got one, so cute on pics enjoying its breaky

Oh dear Gardengirl, it's only Tuesday, will you be ill that long? I hope not. Hugs.
Been to supermarket to prepare for the arrival of the hoards. Now off to water the pots.
