Hi Nic
Not on Facebook either though I signed the petition re netting, couldn’t respond with my views before the debate as Facebook was the only way. Emailed the company who netted their hedging – the very same as the one who was emailing me their assurances of eco & wildlife friendly building. No reply, what a surprise.
Building is still going on due to some more delays but this time the end really is in sight, be glad to see the back of them even though they’ve built me a small but rather beautiful extra bit of house. Researched the source of the bricks & they’re made in the UK so don’t have to feel sick thinking of donkeys in brickyards abroad carrying them on their poor backs. I support the Brooke to help donkeys & other equines abroad & it hadn’t even occurred to me that my house could have far reaching bad effects on an animal til I remembered the brickyards.
Great news is this – last night couldn’t sleep, heard a noise out the back at 2.50 & thought there was someone out there & the someone turned out to be a very large hog who’d been bumping into an upturned empty paint tub!! Spotted it meandering along the path, tonight the camera’s going outside to see what’s what. Have cleared a lot of the mess so there’s room to move out there & tomorrow morning the remainder is leaving my garden for good so the hogs will have a better chance of getting to the borders without having to climb brick or sand mountain!
Watch this space. Haven’t read any other items on the forum so don’t know how your hogs are doing, well I hope.
