We are fighting a battle in the strawberry patch at the moment. Something is finding itself irresistibly drawn to the brilliant scarlet fruits that are growing in there right now, and it isn’t just us.

I don’t think it’s mice this year, although we did have mice in that part of the plot a couple of years ago. This year, though, the cat has taken to sunbathing there in the mornings, which I think would probably be enough to keep mice out of the way.

Instead I suspect wood lice as I have seen a fair few of themm around there. Whatever it is, though, they’re not welcome. I think they’ve had almost as many of them as we have, and when they taste this intense, who can blame them?
