THE SQUIRRELS AGAIN - SORRY! - July 2014

This is our shed . . .

It's a huge building, but not a lot of use. Why? 

Because ...

This is the floor ...

This is the ceiling ...

These are the windows ...

And the walls are Asbestos!

However, despite this, it is the only storage space we have for certain things. So, certain things are stored in it!

Some of these 'certain things' include bags of bird food. 

This food is 'essential' for the birds which give us hours of delight.

The following creature is not a bird, but clearly thinks it is. Here it is trying its best to dislodge the window bird feeder. It is also a thief! It gives us hours of grief!

Last month we took a week's holiday in France. Prior to our visit, I blocked off the broken windows in the shed to deter any unwanted squirrel visits, and we ('stupidly' some may say!) felt confident enough to leave an unopened box of 100 fatballs in the shed. When we returned, my fortress had fallen and a squirrel-sized hole had appeared in the side of the box!

A much depleted amount of fatballs greeted us.

They had left us with 25 of the original 100!!!

The fatballs now live in the conservatory.


They then started on the bag of peanuts. Peanut husks everywhere!

The peanuts now live in the conservatory.

There is one consolation. After the squirrels had taken the bud off a potentially beautiful poppy last month, I caged off the next budding poppy, and the results? ... 

YAY!!

Even better. . . Our cats, which towards the beginning of my blog were proving to be a huge nuisance, have found a new place to sleep ...

In the shed, on top of the birdfood!!

By the way . . . How satisfying it is, to sit in endless sun, watching the Tour de France racing through France in relentless rain!!!
