Nature is cruel

Those bloody mice have been picking unripe strawberries like there is no tomorrow - like the cats play with the mice before they kill them so the mice play with the innocent and vunerable strawberry (they are after the seeds and they stock pile them collecting them up in big pyramids). Its enough to make a japanese strawberry otaku cry (they is a weekly magazine in japan dedicated to the strawberry and read by the young and the trendy)

It does however persuade me of the value of cats, and that's a first - trouble is ours are not here just now.

Ted Taylforth, a local farmer visited Lawson Park last night and we trailed around the woods looking for a field he remebered ploughing and planting with potatoes 50 years ago - we found it eventually, the old hedge line and some fence posts still there. Ted has a line in story telling that is very detailed, mostly stories seemed to have brutally tragic deaths at the end of them but during the telling there was a lot of mundane detail to do with car types and sandwiches - kinda made the endings even worse
