Ah! Burnham Market!  It was my nearest town from Brancaster.......... like you say you can buy Quail's eggs, but not hen's, you can easily spend £200 on a handbag, but you can't get a bag of spuds. I deal for the single parent on a low income............splendid little place. You do still get some proper locals in the Hoste though (surprising but true) they refuse to budge just cos the Beckhams are coming to stay   

Anyway, Have you done the "Wells Gallon" yet?  It's been a while, can you still do it now that the best pub in Wells (The Crown) has turned into a "Brasserie" (that was a sad day!)   

Ok, back to Shed-ness....................... MOLES I can't get shot of them, they refuse to budge, the lawn is now officially unsalvagable, it's utterly knackered with hills and tunnels (which collapse under your feet)  I've tried every kind of "Mole-be-gone" and nothing works, they are down their laughing their little moley heads off. I really don't want to look at hurtful methods though..................
Jared is it still all tarmac around that YH? What about your garden?  all the things you'd done?

Surely the spade constututes a "hurtful method" of Mole control? unless you sit there all night with your spade and when moley pops up you cry "who wants to play mud pies?"  or "fancy digging over the veggie patch dear boy?"    I'm very pleased to be able to say that Kington got handed over to a guy in his 50's who loves gardening... Now that is good news, I liked the garden updates from Kington, and I'd hate to think all that work was gone to waste. Pity about the lack of garden at Wells though,.... I hope it goes well for you there

You really think 5 days is an option with the Aussies coming out to play? 

They'll beat us in 3 days for each match, unless we get rain.

Yes but we couldn't even put the wind up the Windies, so the Aussies will be much tougher.
