How lovely! What a shame you didn't get a chance to become better acquainted with your drop in (or drop on?) though. I'm always thrilled when I see rats in the garden. My mum keeps a compost heap, so there are lots around. They're beautiful sleek creatures with grey coats and creamy underbellies, gliding through the undergrowth and pouring over the pergola like liquid music.

A shame that the rat escaped before you found out who he was working for. Just imagine the torture scene:
"Now are you going to talk or do I have to feed you another honey drop?!!"
He would have cracked in no time at all.

I had a squirrel bounce off my bicycle wheel once. He wasn't hurt. Does that count?
