ANOTHER UNEXPECTED GUEST - Dec 2015

Well, apart from ripping two gates off their hinges, Storm Frank was relatively uneventful.

Looking back through my blog, I notice that back in 2013 we received several unexpected visitors. This year has produced a new influx of guests ...

To begin with, a wren visited and was found stranded in the bathroom.

Then we noticed evidence of mice when I went to find a roll of food recycling bags from under the sink.

Two of our cats sadly died earlier in the year, and the 3rd is clearly doing a poor job of keeping away vermin.

The mouse has climbed kitchen shelves, bypassing boxes of cereal,

 bags of flour and biscuits,

to get its paws on and into a packet of Bombay Mix from the very top shelf!

Our mouse is clearly very choosy!

Very recently, a young wild goat had become separated from the herd and found itself in our garden confronted by the dog.

They had a very very long face-off,

before the dog chased it away, and into the lounge.

The goat took up residency on Will's chair where another face-off continued. If the dog came too close, the goat stamped a foot, causing the dog to pirouette, before returning to repeat the performance over and over again until we took charge and chased it out.
