Relocation of the Mole from our Garden

Oh my word. All my good intentions to keep my blog up to date once a week have come to nought. I see I last posted in March - that is 2 months ago now!

So the latest exciting happenings here are that we caught the Mole that has been causing havoc in our back garden for the past 6 months. I happened to be at the kitchen sink washing dishes one morning, and I saw it sunning itself on the lawn. I couldn't believe how huge it really was, so I called hubby to come and have a look. 

In that time Max & Charlie realised something was going on outside the kitchen window and dashed out. In no time at all they had the mole on its back with much noisy barking. Hubby got the dogs off the mole and I got Max & Charlie into the house, while hubby managed to get the mole into a bucket with the aid of a mop. 

I think it was stunned but not hurt. We took it to a large empty plot and released it there. My word it was angry and just wanted to attack us until it realised the futility and started looking for a place to burrow in.
