Crunch, squeak, crunch, squeak, crunch, gulp, gulp. Mouse No 7 is no more, all gone. I think we may be nearing the end of them. Claude always comes in looking hopeful now, I think he is convinced that we have arranged a kind of Easter Egg hunt for him.

Need support for your home ed journey? Looking for tutoring for your young person? Have an idea for a collaboration? I’d love to hear from you!
After 20+ years of home educating my four children (two now adults), I’ve gathered a wealth of experience that I’m passionate about sharing. Beyond blogging and guest writing, I offer several services designed to support families on their home education journey.
I’ve put together a collection of resources that I’ve genuinely found useful over the years—things that have actually made a difference in our home education. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to freshen things up, there’s something here to help. These are the tools, guides, and materials I’d recommend to a friend, because they work.

When I had mice in my little cottage near Cheltenham, I caught 27….. you may have a while to go yet.
🙁
My cats seem to be bringing in rats at the moment. Nice. Especially at 3am when they are bleeding all over your white duvet cover.
Yup, we gave up at 16 (humane trap) in Herefordshire because we were moving.
I think we may have got lucky and forestalled them before they had got a real colony going. It looks like there were a pair of adults, one of whom reimmigrated after its deportation and a litter of mouselets (what is the correct word for baby mice?). We got the parents first and since then we have only caught babies. Fingers crossed.
