It's official, we have mice in our outbuildings. When we moved in, there where plenty of trays of rat poison standing in the various outbuildings of the farm, which we promptly removed as we didn't want the dog to eat it. We never found much evidence of an actual...
Hubby’s new Swiss Army Knife
We went to our local outdoor outfitter this morning as we still owed a friend a pair of climbing shoes and hubby had a gift certificate from there which he wanted to use. This turned out to be harder than he anticipated. The certificate was for 25 Euros and since most...

Booked solid until mid-May
