19th December. Beavers.

I've been drafted in to Mains of Beaverton to put right a faulty installation, more or less a mercy mission to bring warmth and Pre Christmas cheer, to Ms.M.the tenant.

The Landlord was credited with reintroducing the Beaver to this neck of the woods. On the approach to the house I was able to view some of their unnofficial handiwork, As Jeff Goldblum said "Life will find a way..."

As varmints go the Beaver is quite pesky once it gets it's teeth into a tree, imagine being able to bite a tree trunk.? They seem to go about taking mouthfuls here and there like mice in a potato store.

Anyway Ms. M. said she'd found out quite a lot about the Beaver on the internet,

"Course you've got to be careful when you put the word Beaver into any search engine, some guy at the Hydro-Board lost his job for doing that."
