    My list is mostly manuring new shrubs and trees. Not personally; Tying up roses, protecting from high wind; Fixing fencing; Sweeping up leaves off paths to avoid slides and falls. Shouting at neighbours' cats readying toilet areas where perennials have died back. In late winter I will prune climbing roses and train them. I aim to get the new fences in before then so we can set the cane structures set before the sap rises.

    I do s*d all in the garden in winter. It looks after itself.

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

    Same here ... too wet and slippy.  There's plenty of baking and making to do indoors  ;)

    I did lots of those nasty little indoor jobs t'other day @Dovefromabove. Cleaning the dispenser on the washing machine properly, the big filter on the drier, replacing [again] the fittings on the hose after they snapped in the last lot of frost [despite the protection] the drain in the shower [another stupid design] and renewing the smoke alarm that woke me at half two on Sunday - am not pm. Why do they do that?  :/

    @Hexagon - do you not leave the seedheads on your cyclamen so that they can produce more plants?

    @Rik56 OH chose a Dyson when we bought our last vaccuum cleaner.  I hate it.   The only good thing is that he knows I hate it and now does all the vaccuum cleaning.

  • We bought an all singing all dancing Dyson ... I hated it ... it’s the only piece of equipment that has ever reduced me to tears ... we gave it away and bought a Panasonic for £79.99 ... it does what it is supposed to and doesn’t require so much pandering to. Love it.

    Did it clean as it went down ?  I'm pretty sure that wasn't in the Instructions for Use tho.
    it didn't clean beforehand, so probably not, lol
