And the alternative description of Nut (a cow) seems unnecessarily rude...
I've often wondered about better ways of carrying containers of water in my rather steep garden, instead of pulling my arms out at the sockets, heaving watering cans about. I'd wondered about a yoke, as sported by milkmaids in past times, but I see the goddess Nut carries her water pot on her head.
Strangely enough, last week we had a visiting collared dove on our hotel balcony...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Liri ... you spotted me I do get about a bit you know
There was a chap in our village who used a yoke to carry pails of household scraps up the hill to his allotment to feed his pig ... then he'd use the yoke and pails to move water around the beds.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
I've got a water butt, Obelixx. It isn't a big garden but there are lots of steps and slopes... and I just fancy being a yokel... who I assume is someone who uses a yoke.

WE drove around our back area this afternoon to check dam levels and possible trees blown over fences etc. took Jessie for her first adventure. She kept trying to catch Acacia branches with her mouth. She had great fun.
Looks like you're both having fun Pat ... And that buddliea is very pretty.
Yesterday we bumped into a chap who had been a regular customer of OH's at the farm shop. He said he'd been sorting out some stuff of his late wife's and had a load of paint and brushes of hers, would we like them? To cut a long story short we have been given lots of really useful equipment and some books of lovely flower paintings his wife had done ... he has paintings of hers on the wall but felt the books of paintings needed a new home or they would eventually be thrown out ... we're glad to have them with us here.

It seems that Norfolk doves are quite something to be reckoned with

Dove......you can take me under your wing anytime

And does this remind us of anyone we know?

We all know Nut is a goddess ... but being a 'star covered nude' sounds a bit chilly for gardening in the
wide windy fenland

Can you not install water butts Liri? Save carrying water a long way.

Ome of the self-seeded Buddleias which I think was from a mauve one has suddenly sprouted white flowers. Not bad.
Good morning all
G'day Pat
