I grew up, along side our local park and our back garden was always heavily overhung with chestnut trees and oak trees, as you can imagine this was great for a young kid as every autumn there was a huge supply of conkers to thread and play with.
Though my dad wasn't quite as keen because it always attracted numerous squirrels!
Now, everyone knows how much squirrels like nuts, especially squirrels, and the squirrels that lived in the trees around us were no exception.
Now my dad's a pretty good guy and it's not that he begrudged the squirrels the nuts that fell in our garden, but what he didn't like was they way they didn't discriminate. Those squirrels knew what they wanted and they were very very clear it was nuts they wanted.
Now, for most of the year there weren't enough nuts falling from the trees and that mean's these squirrels got creative!
Squirrels don't seem to recognise my dad's objections, they were going to have there nuts and if that meant stealing the nuts my day had put out for the birds then that was just fine with them!
And that my friends is where the fun really started because like me my dad wasn't going to give in easy.
If the squirrels were going to steal the nuts from the bird table, he'd by a feeder. Soon the nuts were hanging in a bag from the cloths line - the next day, they were on the floor as the squirrels ran along the line chewed through the bag and deposited the nuts on the floor!
No problem, my dad try's various devices on the line to stop the squirrels getting to the nuts, each time they got past and got the nuts.
Then one day it was just too tough, so the squirrels chewed through the line and deposited the nuts and bag on the floor!
Wire protected line, no problem the squirrels leap huge distances and catch the line side on - amazing!
No matter what my dad did, those squirrels knew what they wanted and they weren't going to let my dad get in the way.
Throughout this whole summer my dad got more frustrated, we got increasingly amused watching my dad try new things and the squirrels always got there nuts!
