The mice must be finding it cold too - I keep gardening shoes and

des-res apartments for mice in Winter why do they feel it necessary
to crap inside them too? :-(

I always roll my gardening gloves. Not because of mice, but spiders. All
gone now, but earlier autumn, there was hundreds of 'em in my garden, shed,
and house. Hate the bu**ers!


Me too. Ray always shakes out my wellies and gardening coat for me before I
put them on!

How can you possibly get through a day in September and October without
having to push through hundreds of webs at face level? they seem to love
the greenhouses and tunnels :~)
