Rats in the Roof and Rumpie Pumpie.

Fried up the last of my home cured bacon this morning. Two rashers on a toasted sandwich with sliced beetroot went down very well indeed. Gemma has just delivered another two pork bellies for me to play with, but unfortunately that will mean a three week bacon free gap whilst waiting for it to cure properly. Fortunately I know another home curer with whom I can exchange venison for bacon.
Now sat in the Old Bull at Inkberrow. (The Archers Pub) enjoying a pint of Herefordshire Pale Ale. The dinner menu here is always a little different. Murphy, the Irish landlord specialises in unusual and eccentric dishes. On offer tonight we have Rumpie Pumpie :Medallions of pork on a black pudding mash. Three Breasts On A Plate. Pheasant, duck and wood pigeon with red cabbage and pancetta and a Sloppy Joe. Burger. Spicy beef chilli with halloumi cheese on a bun. All these are priced at under £11.
We appear to have rats, squirrels or other unwanted visitors in the roof space at Home Farm Barn. My son, his partner and family were kept awake most of last night by scampering creatures above their heads.
I have now set three traps and scattered poison blocks in the area which I believe is being used for access to the roof. Tomorrow morning will hopefully produce results.
