Yes indeed  They make the lawn all tufty so it looks like someone has strewn balls of moss all over the place. Love em really but it does make me wonder sometimes why I bother trying to have a garden area, which I keep fenced off to keep the sheep out.

   That is just incredible! You are going to have a forest of oak seedlings coming up next spring, if they don't manage to find and eat them all. They've been so methodical about it, too...the seedlings will all be in neat tidy rows. But what a lovely garden you have...nice, the way it's been landscaped with a terrace so that it's not just a steep slope, and all the different coloured shrubs. That's taken you a lot of work, I'm sure. Is that field down at the bottom where the sheep are coming from?

Believe it or not this is them burying monkey nuts and peanuts. Pity they wont grow here, it would save me a fortune! The garden was formed naturally in terraces, the houseis perched on a rocky outcrop, think the terraces were formed in the ice age. I have a large back area, then a 30ft drop to the level where the house is, Then two more levels to the lower ground. - No not a field, it forms part of an acre that goes back up the side of the house in a ravine, this is where I have, for the last three, been years trying to make a wild meadow, keep being defeated by escapee sheep from the hill farm in the hills up the back and the area being flooded - scream. by the way the different coloured shrubs are shrubs which leaves turned various shades of red and orange as we came into winter - don't know why as some did not previously. It is very difficult getting things to grow here as the place in on the slopes of a Corbet and boy does the wind blown down it. so it is mainly acers, heather and hebes.
