Amy tell me about it,last year they got into the roof space of my very elderly neighbour and chewd the insulation off the cable that carries the electric to her shower, it does not bear thinking about what could have happened.If only jamie would catch more,2 in five years not good enough, i must remember not to feed him so often.

So pretty, glad protected now. Sorry to be dim but what is Rodos?

Tell Jamie they're easier to catch when they're young - Misty caught 9 in 13 days a few years ago, the kites enjoyed them, lol.

Ha ha, I don't like missing anything, so I'm glad I've not. Hope you keep the squirrels at bay.

I know it's probably better for them to be split-but don't they (or should I say, 'didn't they' !)look fantastic in big clumps.

it still does look good, if the sun stays out long enough to reach them I will take a picture of them open.
