Friday 15th June 2018

Warm day.
Another quality day in the garden. Today actually was hard work as fixed gravel boards to the base of the fence to stop cats, foxes etc digging forever larger holes. Have left one large hole for all animals to use.
            More damselfly activity in the pond and a variety flying into the conservatory during the course of the day.
Have noticed a fair number of small magpie moths about the garden this year. In the ivy hedge and hydrangea shrubs in particular. Have also seen them in the moth trap.
Celie and Leilani rescued a mouse from a cats mouth this afternoon, appeared unharmed, placed it in the food store and it ran in an instant into the mouse house. Result.
