I enjoyed reading this too. I take it that it is fiction, as it's labelled, but I started googling to see if it was true, as the understated detail made it seem quite likely! Well worked out and possible! Rhiannon

A hard letter! but you've got some good and unusual ideas.

Lovely picture, though bit of a shock to picture the mice. We once had one (a field mouse, it seemed)  come in and nibbled the kitchen soap. I kept the item for a while! And one once that ran through the folding futon each night, but didn't seem...
