I'll be back when it does! Cheers

Well, he certainly wasn't a fortune Nate,

Thank you @Goldenlily26, it sounds like you are coping well. I have a few food intolerances, not allergies, and am also intolerant of noisy neighbours!

Badgers will go for the caddies - late one night I was watching the TV and heard a loud banging noise from outside. I looked out and a badger had one of the large food caddies by the handle, and was swinging it against the corner of the house trying to get it open. It wasn't my caddy - but after...

I've not gotten any further with this little project, but will have to before long as everything is being planted out.I was thinking more about the soaker hose idea, and not entirely convinced that it would be enough to water the borders that I have, so am now wondering if sprinkler hoses...

Thanks for the replies. One was the bane of my life last year, it insisted on building its mammoth web across the rubbish bins. We do have rather a lot of them, so I hope they're lucky spiders They are fascinating in creepy sort of way. It looks like some have rebuilt their nest.

I've actually got a notebook that I carry with me in my bag, and I write things in it that I must remember. And yes I do look at it Don't tell me to put it in one of those iphones or whatever they're called. I wouldn't know how to switch it on - I'd have to write it down in my notebook

Take care of yourself @Februarysgirl . That's more important. The hogs will do the same, regardless of what you do. I get wasps and/or bees using the hog house far more often than any hedgehog comes in to use it. There are too many other sites for them, so it's a bit of a bonus if they come in...
