We are golden
Hello bloggers wherever you may be. Wow that was busy on the blog yesterday! Keep it coming and tell your friends. Busy is good.
Happy to report the foxes were quiet last night. There was no chasing, no foraging and no noisy foxy rumpy-pumpy. I'm on the look out for a peaceful, non-hound based way of getting rid of the blighters. If any bloggers have experience in these matters, would love to hear of them. Maybe we could re-introduce wolves in the UK. Would that help? Do wolves hate foxes or are they peaceful co-existers? Need to look that one up I think.
Today (and I'm pathetically excited just mentioning it) Nigel is cooking up a golden syrup pudding. More than any other dessert, this is one to relish and look forward to. If there is golden syrup sponge on the menu, you eat less of everything else to make room. Respect is due to the king of puddings. The debate is surely custard or cream or ice cream? Or maybe, just a little of everything would be fine. So lets have songs for the SWEET-TOOTHED to day please, just to get the juices flowing.
Have a clear-sighted and clear-thinking Thursday, see you after 5.

Sorry Simon, I can't agree about golden syrup - the thought of it makes me feel nauseous! I put the blame on an aunt of my mum's who, when I was little, decided that a good cough cure was golden syrup, butter and vinegar - it didn't work, 'nuff said! : (
In lieu of any original thinking from me today, can I second MTF's excellent suggestion - Good Year for the ROSES.

Re. the foxes: Old wives (and their tales) would have it that foxes really don't like the scent of human urine. So, you need to give the Armitage Shanks a break a start peeing around the boundaries of your property. If it doesn't work, at least you'll have given the neighbours something to talk about.
More practically, we have chickens. High fences and barbed wire seems to be the solution (touch wood...)

Collect up any human hair, eg after visiting the barbers etc...
Tie it into parcels (old socks or the like) and fasten it to wherever the foxes enter your property.
Worth a try!
