 Well he wasn't too impressed when I told him. He almost choked on the ham roll he was eating at the time LOLSmile

I told him he could do it at night. But not with a black balaclava on Big Smile

 Wouldn't fancy messing around with him downstairs in the dark.  Nasty things can happen.

 Caught him on camera this morning on top of nextdoors shed.Took a great face on pic as he was staring right up at me, but the damn flash came on and spoilt it as the window was shut!Sad It had been open and I only noticed the fox as I shut it which startled it. The pic is hazy because it's through the glass

But just caught him before he jumped off and over the fence. He gets out in the gap where our trellis ends.

I think nextdoor are putting food on top of the shed. I saw loads of cooked chicken on there the other morning in an orderly fashion. I doubt a fox is able to scale a fence then a shed with a load of meat and bones and arrange it nicely on top fo the shed! So they are encouraging itHuh?

 Jan, rather than try to block an escape route I'd make it an escape route were you want the escape route or stop it getting in. You don't want it trapped in your garden.

 That's exactly what I said the Nick Sean. I am worried it might not get out after jumping in from nextdoor.

Don't think it's been in he back lately, but I head them out front last night and this morning rubbish bags over the road had been ripped open and rubbish was all over the placeSad

People put their rubbish out last week despite the bin men being on strike. Idiots have left it out and of course the foxes get at itcrazy2

Still having a fox visit. Infact it has made a right mess at the bottom of the garden. Everytime I look the tunnel is deeper. It's even broken a bit off the kickboard at the bottom of the fence and I can see out through the otherside.

I might try the curry powder, but I keep telling Nick to go pee down thereZip it!

If you have a hairdressers near you pop in and get a bag of hair clippings, stick a handful in the foot part of an old pair of tights/stockings and then tie a knot,cut it off and pin it down where the foxy bit is. Do as many of these as you can, and if you really want to get hubby to wee on them too. The human smell from the hair should make them uncomfortable enough to find another garden.

If that don't work borrow a friends dog for the week

strange isnt it, i live in the middle of fields and dont see or any evidence of them, I did see a pair of them running across the ploughed field years ago but nothing recent, although i used to see the hunt go through the village, dont get that now either. di

my son lives in chessigton, and they are as common there as pigeons  are here.

when i was last there we saw several a day in the neighbourhood, and they weren't that bothered when you approached. once the mrs went into the garden to hang out some washing and two of them just begrudgingly sloped off to the bottom of the garden and waited for her to go back inBig Smile




it's my union flag and i want it back

maybe cos there are nothing but fields full of rabbits and such they dont need to come into our gardens for food, they soon appear if you keep chickens though, di
