Iāve just put 2 comments on amazon because I was very annoyed with the reviews in there, if you canāt get seeds to grow, donāt blame the company, Ā unless you buy them from China, then you get what you deserve. There, thatās bought the curmudgeonly thread back in line.Ā

Well they advertise it as a 'non-scalpel' surgery now so I thought it was going to be done with bricks or bands. Turns out they just poke a hole with a biro or something and then I imagine it's something like diffusing a bomb in an '80s action movie.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
So after a year of feeling as though I'm living in a detached house ( heavy metal full volume, vacuum at midnight) the house is sold.Ā Do they introduce themselves? No. But someone has been using a drill for six hours a day for the last week, the roofing chaps chat to each - one on the roof, one on the ground, at a volume that the whole road must hear. The drill was swapped for a sledge hammer and I started going out for the day.
Two weeks of this and I moaned to my brother when he 'phoned- all of the above plus the wisteria that is trying to get into my grandson's bedroom.
Minutes after I got off the phone the door goes and there they are with a big box of chocs and covered in smiles. Had to e-mail my brother and tell him, his comment? "Witch, witch!"
Blank looks when I mentioned the wisteria - they have a gardener. Also had to go and speak to their decorator, wondering when Mrs Daily will turn upĀ

Do they at least dip it in Dettol?
Hope it was a very big box of chocs @herbaceous @Lyn - I refuse to give reviews on Amazon after they rejected one of mine. There was nothing particularly rude or offensive about it, I just stated that the delivery had been poor and the company hadn't been very helpful etc. I replied to their email saying why had they then allowed a review I'd just read where the person had called a spade a 'spade' in no uncertain terms? The response was as you'd expect. **** allĀ
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I didnāt give a review I just commented on someone elseās, Ā give credit where itās due, the reviews very just plain rude and one was just plain silly.Ā
They usually do reject a review like that because its supposed to be a review of the product' not the service, you have to take that up with the seller. Ā Thatās why I hate it when someone writes that the seeds arrived late or something, when in actual fact the seeds will all germinate.Ā

I met the new neighbours today. I've forgotten their names already The lady of the house asked if it was me she'd seen wandering around the garden with a torch at night Ā They seem nice enough though and complimented the garden despite it being on the scruffy side at the moment.

Wide awake @wild edges? Me too ... and I donāt have a small person keeping me awake ... just the moon looking beautiful and a tawny owl calling out for a friendĀ ...
