I'm going to be changing the car in spring Obs, and getting a four wheel drive, but it's just a bog standard car I have at the moment. This is when I miss my jeep.
Is there no way you can manually fill your pond?
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
<Sounds like a plan FG. Tap water is metered here so no manual filling. It does get any water from the back of the house roof as that is piped in but we only have 3 water butts of 350l each and they woul dgo nowhere in that hole. Just have to wait for rain.
Busy, Is there a Jessops in Norwich? They're the only shop that had a replacement lens cap for our old camera so I'm sure they'll sell chargers too. We'd tried camera shops in the Charente, Belgium and half of Canterbury first.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Think I need to phone the British Gas people ... the boiler dripped about three tqblespoons of water onto the worktop yesterday evening .... it's never done that before It's got it's annual service due in January, but I don't want it conking out before then!!!
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I can't swim Obs - so it certainly wouldn't be me either! Paddling my feet in a burn after a long hill day is as far as I go. My daughter had a swim in the pond at the last house. I have a photo somewhere, but I don't like putting those on. It was a bit manky though....

Obs, I'm with you on cold water. We're a wee bit further south than you and I'm still not tempted into the Atlantic.
Hubby up through the night with ....erm..... "tummy troubles" and we had new next door neighbours check in at 12.30am so not much sleep for me last night. Overall, mustn't grumble.

Morning all. Bit low today.
Frosty but bright out, quite lovely really.

Let me know when you're coming and if I'm free I'll hop on a bus and meet you
Jessops is another good idea
There's one in Chapelfield.

So you'll not be swimming in it any time soon then....
Could you order one off the t'interweb BL?
Oh 'eck Dove. Hope it isn't going to be an issue. Don't want you having a flood like we had recently

Not me FG! I don't do cold water. Haven't even paddled in the Atlantic yet except with wellies on.
Good job it's now and not the day before Xmas Dove! Hope you can get a man who can. or even a woman. Why not?

I'm happy to paddle and swim in the Atlantic ... and the North Sea ... much prefer it to a swimming pool.
British Gas Homecare will come on Wednesday morning and they'll do the service at the same time.
Now to return to the pudding making ..........
