After buying mole repelling powder(non toxic) which smells like old garlic,and a battery operated repeller,this morning I noticed one of the original traps had sprung and on removing it there was a dead mole about 6 inches long and very fat,I have had traps sprung before but nothing in them,I wonder if the noise emitting machine sent the mole crazy and it scrabbled its way into the trap.
The good news is that unless there is another mole in there,the back garden should start to look more like a lawn and less like a ploughed field,had it not been so destructive we would have left it but they do wreak havoc.
Sheffield Utd. are playing Birmingham today at Bramall Lane and it's on sky kick off 12.15,Le Blades are at the match,and of course we shall watch it on sky,with Sheila wearing a red and white scarf(actually thats a lie about the scarf) I thought it would add interest to the blog,but we shall be cheering the Blades on, the Millers won away at Lincoln yesterday and seem the most consistent team playing in Sheffield at the moment, it should be mentioned that the Owls had an away win at Burnley much against the form books,its now 12 noon so I shall close and get ready for the game.

That poor mole. It probably has a partner and some kids somewhere wondering were it is. Remember, moles have been there much longer than you.
My great great grandad was a mole catcher down here in lincolnshire in a village named Hatton,it's in the blood. Graham
