“We like what you’ve done with the place,” say the frogs and toads
One of the things we’ve done over the past year is develop, by necessity as much as for any other reason, a woodpile at the bottom of the back garden. The hedging we inherited was rampantly overgrown, and there was only so much shredding we could do. The branches and sticks that remained after the blitzing of the hedges were piled up high, tucked away, and left to rot down as they surely will, albeit over a period of years. Our neighbour has since remarked that she used to get a lot of frogs and toads in her garden, but this year hasn’t seen any. The reason why, we think, is because they’ve all moved next door, to us!
