    @wild edges - I suppose if she gives you any grief in future, that long picky stick might be useful for poking her in the eye too  ;)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Too right. I could pick someone's nose from 4 metres away with this thing :)
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    But would you?  :D

    I don't buy much from Amazon anymore but the last package came in an odd bubble-wrap type packet rather than the usual brown cardboard. I thought it was a one off but apparently they've ditched the card in favour of plastic that can't be recycled. There's petitions to get them to revert but I think I'll just boycot them instead. :|  I'm convinced that it's someone's job to find places to use plastic where people can't avoid it.

    Well I popped around to the neighbour's house and returned with a bulging nut sack. I'd post a photo but you can picture what a couple of hundred hazel nuts look like right? Things were civil enough, I gave her some cooking apples and I told her to let me know if she needed anything in my garden cut back from her fence. I also trimmed the seed heads off my buddleia while I was there to stop them seeding all over her garden.
    As an added bonus the squirrel returned this morning for another helping of nuts and found that I'd beaten him to it :) I left a few on the tree for the birds though so he might have managed a quick snack for his troubles.

    I'm curmudgeonly this morning because it's offically Winter: the underfloor heating has been switched back on. Bye bye summer.

    Positive waves @Hostafan1.  Indian summer on the way after Doran blows thru.

    Temperatures are going up to 21c that’s too hot for me, ok when cloudy but this is with  no cloud cover,  I don’t like too much heat when working in the garden, even worse when I have to go out to work in it. 
    Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.

    If it never went BELOW  21C  ( even at night ) I'd be more than happy.

    16 at best yesterday here @Lyn- perfect  ;)
    @wild edges - I'm surprised @Hostafan didn't pick you up on  that statement :  ' Well I popped around to the neighbour's house and returned with a bulging nut sack.'    :D
