Do You Love Someone Enough...

 ...to give them your last Rolo?

Do you recall that advert?

We've had a busy time in Essex. Not least because my aunt's neighbours have been doing building work, and we suspect that they have been working on their fireplace/chimney breast. And a few "visitors" have popped through the little hole below the gas fire on this side. The fire has not been in use for many years. 

But when I was here a fortnight ago, we found evidence...Julian set up a lot of mousetraps (baited with peanut butter) and we caught two. 

However I've just been given a top tip - the best bait is half a Rolo. A friend in Norfolk claims great success with this sweet method.

Let's hope this makes a difference. Since implementing this sweet idea we have caught half a dozen in 3 days. 

What do you put on your mousetraps??
