    I  used to be reasonably adept with a scythe Hosta, thanks to watching the older farm workers when I was a child ........ but  you've got a big 'lawn' ... can you invite someone else along to help  me ... someone from a nearby area maybe image

    Dacha, you're more than welcome .

    A man with a scythe and a woodpile. My kinda bloke.

    Dove, I couldn't possibly comment on "your" bloke.

    Yeah, second thoughts, he can come too. image

  • Thanks for all your comments on the runner beans and the link to the post about freezing them.  I will blanch them this year but I didn't get all the air out and there was loads of ice so that might have done it.

    But presumably not this one Hosta....

    Still dry here - hurrah! Think we've had enough rain now, although I believe there's more coming tomorrow. 

    I don't really like mobiles either, but handy if the girls need to contact me, or vice versa. I'd happily not have one though. We tend to text rather than phone too. I don't understand the 'fashion' for having it permanently clamped to your hand - fair enough if you need it for your job, but other than that....put the damn thing down for a few hours eh? image

    I have to agree that Mr Hardy could be a bit too over the top, so probably a bit miscast - stage actors do seem to find TV tricky!  It was a lovely programme though and brings back good memories. I've never watched the Yorkshire vet prog - there's only so many times you can watch vets with their arm up animals' rear ends...image

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
