So we are giving everything a good overhaul, all new soffits, fascias, guttering and pipes and THEN finishing with a few coats of paint.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-68796655192098504102016-06-05T17:20:17.022+01:002016-06-05T17:20:17.022+01:00Each time I look somewhere I see some type of mole...Each time I look somewhere I see some type of molehill. We do have moles but many of the critters that live around my land and near my home make all sizes of "molehills".

I was dismayed for the poor creature & have never seen a mole hill in the area. It was fascinating to have a close look at the little body with it's great claws & snouty nose. No more mole hunting cats please though I suppose there are some who'd be happy to see an end to their mole problem. <br />My mum used to go & collect some of the fresh earth for her garden from the mole hills on the headland. Come to think of it that's where I have seen them here... on the cliff top !BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-50562495853256441872016-06-05T09:07:54.210+01:002016-06-05T09:07:54.210+01:00Builders have to be kept going with high strength ...Builders have to be kept going with high strength tea.<br />And the trouble with grass is that it keeps growing.<br />Two maxims about the countryside.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-55914116827556911382016-06-05T09:01:11.497+01:002016-06-05T09:01:11.497+01:00It's a never ending job keeping any property g...It's a never ending job keeping any property going - and your challenge is formidable.
