A Letter To Caterpillar's

Dear Caterpillar's

I write to advise you that your squatters rights to my pot of mint have now been revoked and eviction proceedings have begun.  I was disheartened to find that our agreement for cohabitation no longer meets your requirements and that you felt the need to move friend's and family in without my knowledge or consent.  As you have now eaten me out of house and home (namely tonight's dinner of Pea Tagliatelle with Mint Pesto ... not to mention Hubby's Mint Choc Chip Ice Cream!) you and your kin have outstayed their welcome.  I attach pictures for your reference of the damage that has been caused.

In an attempt to keep the eviction proceedings amicable, each odius villain has been presented with a free flying lesson ... from the ledge of my third floor balcony ... I trust this remuneration is an acceptable way for you to all find new abodes.  If our paths should ever cross again then I feel it is only fair to provide you with advance warning that court proceedings will be instigated ... at 
dawn ... when there are hungry birds aplenty!  

The Terracotta Pot after removing the ravaged leaves!

You, of course, have the right of response which will be accepted in writing within 14 days from the date at the top of this letter and should be addressed to;
Terracotta Mint Pot
3rd Floor Balcony
Chocolate Teapot Kitchen Garden
TT01 FN01

An older sibling perhaps?

Kind Regards
Chele and Hubby


PS - This morning's attempt to migrate to the Strawberry Pot are futile and shall be meet with resistance ... don't make me break out the chemicals!
