I have been adding to and improving the mouse log pile home. I made it more solid, adding doors, windows, and even new homes and buildings—all made from recycled bits of wood. Now, the mice have a full village with a pub, bookstore, shop, cake and bakery shop, schoolhouse, and even a train station, airplane, cars, and motorcycles. You name it, they have it!

Over the following days, another mouse appeared, and we called her Mildred—much like the old UK TV show George and Mildred. Then, a week or so later, out came a tiny baby mouse who was beyond cute. My wife named her Mini because she was so small.

Since 2018, we have continued building and expanding the village, which might be the first and only mouse village in Yorkshire, England. We have seen many generations of mice come and go, with lots of baby mice born and growing to adulthood.
