| Doreen says |
before we left the UK we were plagued by moles, so I looked for a mole scarer. Someone suggested
Argus, so I went online and typed 'mole scarer' into their search engine - and got a page of Barbie doll bed accessories! Eventually we found a mole scarer elsewhere and it was effective. One day there was a knock on the door and it was the little boy from a couple of houses away. He was clutching a mole. "I think this is yours" he said, handing it to Gavin? He'd rescued it from one of our cats. Gavin released it in the depths of Epping Forest.
Val says - Very telling language there Doreen " plagued by moles" and here am I trying to convince
people of their virtues. Good for Gavin giving Mr Mole a new life perhaps by a river bank.
The Wind in the Willows is a classic of children's literature by Kenneth Grahame, first published in
1908. It focuses on four anthropomorphised animal characters in a pastoral version of England.
The novel is notable for its mixture of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie and celebrated for its evocation of the nature of the Thames valley. ( and the poor little beggars, the moles have probably had their homes flooded there.)
And we all like Mr Mole in this story, lets hear it for the Moles / taupes of this world!
