So, the 1st question was "Why are there big wet patches around the pool terrace first thing in the morning, when there hasn't been any overnight rain?"
Next thing I saw was that something had blundered through my earthed up spuds / shallots / leeks, leaving 5cm deep & diam impressions in the damp soil with his size 11 clodhoppers.
We live right on the edge of an oak wood, which is (apparently) teeming with sangliers, though in more than 3 yrs, we've never seen one (though we've heard them!)
Do you reckon I should leave some towels out for them to dry themselves off? Maybe a nice plate of acorns as a snack?
They've come up the steps for a middle-of-the-night drink of course, but the idea of a drowned 70kg sanglier in the pool doesn't fill me with much enthusiasm. Apparently they swim very well (one was fished out of the Rhone not so long ago by the Pompiers and he lived to tell the tale), but I'd rather not test the theory. Temporary barrier installed.
