    Who would the missing link be then @Fairygirl?

    Oh has dug out my new bed and taken 5 wheelbarrow loads of stones round to add to the pile.........





    The Beeb news says that the lockdown means wildlife is easier to hear and see.Ā  In France there are reports of wild deer roaming towns and villages - I've seen film of deer frollicking in the surf at Les Sables d'Olonne and even roe deer lolloping about in Gembloux near where we lived in Belgium.Ā  Fabulous.

    Hi all.Ā 
    Itā€™s a long time, 6-7yrs, since I last posted & a lot has happened.Ā 

    We finally moved after over 40yrs in Manchester to North East Derbyshire. Big learning curve, after 30yrs gardening in dry, part shade I now have a predominately sunny, exposed site, in North East Derbyshire. Much less rainfall & definitely not sufficient shade for me. Though last summer & autumn were rather wet up here.Ā 

    Nice to ā€˜seeā€™ some familiar names & Iā€™ll try to pop in more often.Ā

    That would be a certain Mr SheeranĀ  @Obelixx....
    New site looks good. Mr Obelixx has earned his corn tonightĀ  :)
    Good to see you @jo4eyes - I'm sure I saw you posting when I joined the forum - 7 years ago, when I moved into this houseĀ  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Not corn @Fairygirl.Ā  Ā Pork burger made from mince, onion, garlic and limquats with roast Med veg - sort of ratatouille but without the aubergines and with lovely caramelisation.Ā  Lots of Mr Sheeran on radio here.

    Hi all, spent most of my day trying to paint a metal garden bench, it's very elegant but has over 40 fine tubes of steel, it's taking forever. A spry paint would have been ideal but we could not get the colour ( pale mint green). Must take a picture then you will see what I mean.

    Week 5 of lockdown here starts tomorrow.Ā  Have just learned that confinement in France has been extended to May 11.Ā  We're doing fine but that's going to seem like forever to some..

    This is how to go social distancing and get a tan at the same time
