A lovely thing to read first thing in the morning; I had no idea that weasels are so small. Like you, I feel really sorry for rats. Much maligned yet cute and clever. They are a big problem where I live, in part caused by poor waste disposal.

Thanks Brenda, yeah they’re funny little things, one of those animals that looks miniaturised rather than small like a mouse? I feel for rats too. I know they can be a problem but as you say, these days it’s often a problem of our own making.

Thanks for this! Looking forward to Monday evening, I’ve put it in my diary and will look out for joining details next week.

May I also state how unusual to read a grammatically correct newsletter ! Knowing the difference between it’s and its does not appear to be widespread knowledge anymore in the UK. Doesn’t make a difference to enjoying a garden, I realise ☺️

Look forward to seeing you Maggie - that’s kind of you about the writing, but I have to admit I am the wrong person for grammar, I’m terrible at it really and I don’t personally believe it’s important for writing except as a finishing thing. I’d rather a great story or insight than good grammar.
