Tiny Tenant

The time came to clearing out the greenhouse ready to put some of the tender plants in before the frosts come. Moving away a seed tray that had been left on the floor, I found that underneath had been home to a family.

A mouse and it's family must have been happily living under the tray. The nest warmly lined with fluffy fibres from sheep's wool from sheep who grazed in the field the other side of the hedge, along with soft moss.

There was no sign of life so the whole family have fled to pastures new.
