We use to have chives and basil in our kitchen window, then kovu ate them

Double sided tape also works very well, cats hate it, a couple of weeks of that on the sill would train them. Or onion flakes/outer layers of onion, cats detest onion. However, then your window sill would smell like onion:D

Drove up to Westmeath yesterday for a few days away from the routine. Still woke up at milking time but so nice to turn over for a while! Seems to be mostly sucklers around here. Weather is a bit iffy but lovely to take kids out for day, or to the pool. Not cooking is a big plus!!!

GG just has no appreciation of the finer things in life. All he dreams of is cows and grass.

That soil structure looks familiar! Did some drainage here last year and the only regret is not going deeper i.e. get down into the gravel layer. With some of the trenches I got the diggerman to go deeper and hey presto he hit water. Even at the end of the dry period in June there was still water flowing whereas the shallower piped and stoned drains ran dry.

One of the cows bulling and the bull decides to do his job. Oh look daddy, the bull is trying to play leap frog with the cow says the youngest!!

I haven't actually gone over there since! I think lag inch got the worst battering around , it was like a bomb site after it. A young lad could come out with anything, was playing with the uncles little fellow the other day and he broke the key on my jeep the little hoor!

Alot of the beach gone, (stony beach that it was/is) some of the road looks like it was washed away and some of walls where the land is, washed away. Must have been some spot in the middle of the storm.
How did you sorted with the key?
