7 am and I was opening up the poultry houses and feeding the cats when I saw four guilty looking geese walking along the green path in the vegetable garden.  Hmmmm.  Someone left the vineyard gate open and they had taken the opportunity (who wouldn’t) to eat some fresh grass and possibly (I have no firm evidence) of eating the two cucumbers growing at the far end of the veg patch.  I took my stick and walked them back to the pond and shut the gate.  There is plenty to eat down there and lots of space but the other man’s grass is always greener and maybe the cucumbers are just that bit tastier!
