It's raining lightly outside now, or so my damp cat tells me with her
muddy paws and wet fur! I'm not complaining; it will settle in my
bulbs and, for a while, keep the frost at bay.


My daughter is living in Cricklewood(NW London) ATM and has a small
garden. She has squirrels nicking everything from the garden and bird
table, so she has had to stop feeding the birds.
Before that was Clapham...Squirrels
In February she will move to Hampshire. No squirrels. They eat them.
yukky. Tree rabbit.

Yes, squirrels are a big problem in gardens around London. Part of me
loves them because they're so hugely cute, but it's intolerable when
they eat bulbs before I've even seen the flowers. I could tolerate them
eating *some* birdfood, but they don't know when to stop.
All the same, I wouldn't want to eat one :~0. I just wish someone would
ship the whole lot back to the States so we can have our lovely red
squirrels back where they belong.

I hope your daughter enjoys Hampshire. It's a lovely part of the world.


There are a couple of non native species that bother me, and I know there
are loads, but Grey squirrels and Signal crayfish bother me most, only
because I have seen the destruction that they cause. First hand.

Hampshire is the most lovely part of the world, I agree.
