The Mole Catcher has put away his traps and contraptions for another year, with the comment -
"I've got to save some to catch next year".
There's an unearthly air of peace and quiet at Strickley now. After fours days when the house was full of family (twins, children, grandchildren and dogs), we are suddenly alone. Miraculously everyone seems to have loaded their cars with the right bags, dogs and children. I haven't checked the bedrooms yet, but wouldn't be surprised to find a stowaway grandchild or dog. Any moment now the phone will ring as someone realises why there was an empty corner in the car.
The next time we all get together there will be an extra one (here in principal over the weekend, but not quite ready to make an appearance). Watch this space.
