At the end of the garden we have a patio, on it a wooden table and four chairs.

The table has a hole in the middle and there is sun brolly in it.

Around the brolly, on the table, is an iron candle holder with six glass votives containing night lights.

Every morning when I go to have my coffee at the table at least two of the night lights are out of the votives and are sitting n the table.

Quite neatly, right way up, never upside down, just outside their votive, never on the ground or outer part of the table.

Now, if I had the kids at home, especially the boys, I would blame them as this is what I would expect, always fiddlling with things and not putting things back where they came from.

But there is just me and him here now and he doesn't like to go out in the garden after dark.

So, who is playing with my candles ??? :-S M

Get the Vicar in!!!!

Magpies. :-)

Squirrels??

Ah, yes, Island, I hadn't thought about birds, especially the Magpies who seem to have been very busy mutiplying this year, there are loads of them about.

The candles are always so neatly placed though, never strewn about the ground or untidily on the table.

Magpies do like shiny things though and the night lights are in a foil container. Maybe just too heavy to carry off, they are never damaged though.

Kitty, only seen a squirrel twice in the garden in nearly thirty years, M

Fairies????????????? :-D

Magpies - they are a real pest

I leave the money for my window cleaner on a window ledge on the bedroom window.

Some years ago when I was an odd amount of money, he by that evening to say it was 20p short. We finally worked out the the local Magpies must have pinched it. They love shiny things.....

pesky Gnomes? :-D

Little spirits or gin - harmless

Goolies :-0

Ants.

They like carrying things.

I tried to train some to carry my luggage last time I went abroad.

They declined.

They didn't have current passports.

Errol :-D

My Nana always said there were Fairies living at the bottom of the garden and, as at the moment, I am reading a book about that very subject, that is the explanation I am going to go for.

I am with Sue on this one.

Better than Pesky Magpies.

Goolies !! ( Honestly, Mersey, mercy me. )

Sheep, sorry Errol, I can hear them, and cows, over the back but I know they can't get through or over the fence. And I put ant powder down the other day.

Mau, Gnomes !!! Not in my garden, no siree.

Don't feel like sitting down the end of the garden any more in the dark, just in case I come face to face with the Candle Mover.

Only one lonely one on the table this morning.

By the way the book I am reading is " The Unseen " by Katherine Webb. M

When I lived in Dover we had ferries at the bottom of the garden

Ha Ha, Errol, very funny.

I hope my Fairies aren't THAT big !!!! :-0 M

Errol, Is that a lambkini you are wearing ? M

Could it be your neighbours? We have new neighbours at the bottom of our garden, I would not put anything past them.

You have neighbours at the bottom of your garden? Are they squatters? Are they trespassing?

Maryanna 'tis the latest fashion doncha know!

Errol dear heart, they live on the opposite side of the fence :-D
