Liberates Large Medicinal
The security light has just come on at the back of the house & I looked out of thewindow to see what had triggered it.
Usually it’s a fox, or a cat
Tonight it was a badger cub !

Lovely and fierce. Fine combination.

We had badgers last year. They truffle up the lawn looking for big grubs.
If they’d knocked I’d have GIVEN them big grubs. They only had to ask, not plough up 1/4 of my garden !!
I went out to the garage one evening and came face-to-face with an adult one which stood on its tip toes, bared its teeth and hissed at me. I took action of the running-away type.

Ah, I remember now, Carinthia. It is you I have to thank for my badger-infested dream this morning. They don’t like toffees, Well, this one didn’t. Nor would it leave the premises. Quite a worry, taken all in all.

I am not a timid bird but I feel badgers is best dealt wiv when you have about fifty of your mates lurking just out of sight.

The back garden is a tiny triangular patch of lawn, with a dwarf apple tree, a holly bush & rhubarb
Howsumevva
At the point of the triangle, there is access, fer critturs, to many other gardens, & the Fox Jamboree Ground half a mile away
The garden is raised, so the badger felt uncomfortably close, despite the double glazing
It was a bitovva shock, TBH

Water for toilet flushing also sorted out
Best we can do if the electrickery goes off as the well is on another circuit to the house one and our generator is for the house
We have food water and the wee gas cooker so will be grand

That Dog is very fine in many respects, but genuinely did not think of moving a foot sideways to come out of the rain.

Hope it’s not too harrowing for Twellsie and Yon Bull. Have just confined some very disgruntled chooks to barracks. We’re supposed to avoid the worst of it—yellow warning here—but we’re taking no chances…
Meanwhile, what is to become of the Cellar when the storm strikes? Abandoned for pastures new? (Save possibly the occasional caretaking visit by staff.)

The cellar is a safe haven for us all

Which is why “no trapezes”

We do need a new one, but is the middle of a hurricane the right time to move furniture?

Werl, if there’s lightning I may pop outside to enjoy it.
Yes!

I think waiting and starting a new cellar after the storm is a good idea
Imaging if the cockytail cabinets got damaged
Or worse the gin cabinet could be blown away
Best leave things in situ nice and safe

The hard part is usually stopping it from moving.
