We've just been staying with my other sister in France who has a wonderful kitchen in her old (1514 it says on the bakeoven door) house and there were mice there too, running in and out. I suppose the trick is to keep them in the attic. Could you lay layers of cheese between the beds of insulation, or possibly hang hawk mobiles from the kitchen ceiling. I think mice (not having eyes in the top of their heads) fear hawks more than cats. Anyway it would be an interesting experiment. <br /><br />Private Eye (50th Anniversary issue) reprints a wonderful cartoon of a butchered cat, blood everywhere, and the Pest Control officer saying to the harassed owner of the ex-cat 'You have got a serious mouse problem!'<br /><br />Well done on the fab kitchen!Fenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02377814681496294457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666908446822278106.post-58719789560226559442011-10-26T06:43:33.321-07:002011-10-26T06:43:33.321-07:00Oooo Gorgeous Chris.

You look back sometimes and think how did we manage, the dust, the smoking builders, the doors open all the time, in our case the puppy escaping and, in the house before, the 2 year old escaping. And now we realise OUR builders didn't put a vital steel in so it all starts again. I could weep! I probably will!
