The message
from "Alan Gabriel" contains
these words:

Update on the mole - I stood on the mole hills and flattened them
down and
so far there aren't any more molehills. With a bit of luck he has gone.


Trap the mole, skin it and make a pair of gloves for the wife.

Wife must have rather small hands...

I might have a slightly bigger problem now though - rabbits. We have had
some in the front garden a couple of times and I got the dogs to chase
them away so hopefully they will get the message and not come back.

Aren't you lucky? As above but make a meal of it to go with the runner
beans.

I can go along with that - just as long as the wife doesn't mind her
gloves constantly moulting.

Anybody else have a problem with the local wildlife? The only visitor I
didn't mind was the Sparrowhawk that decided to have a pidgeon for lunch
on our front lawn, as I had never seen one that close before. It sat
there
having a munch for about half and hour which gave me plenty of camcorder
footage.



Take the pigeon off the Sparrowhawk and casserole it. Excellent eating.

The trouble with pigeons is that the descend on the farmers' fields and
tuck into the seed he's just sown, and that's usually dressed with
pesticides and fungicides, and that is absorbed into the pigeon's flesh.
Too many pigeons can be bad news for the nosher of casseroles.
