The best we could find on the cowslip front were these specimens..
The violets didn't fare much better...
Most were struggling to get to out into the light..
However we found one clump which seemed to be doing a little better... but perhaps that was due to the mole hill pushing it up from behind...
And there were a lot of mole hills...
We produce a fine crop of moles in Braye! But obviously we're not alone. An online search revealed a very busy mole catcher based near our home in Lancashire. His web page makes interesting reading (See here)
Perhaps Colin could take the online certificate for accreditation to the Guild of British Molecatchers and we could set up in business: he could catch them and I'd make trousers and waistcoats!!
In the meantime we have a new toy to deter the little blighters...
We hope they'll die laughing!!
