    @wild edges that is truly amazing! Lucky boy you have.

    I am still sowing seeds despite having no room anywhere to put them. An advantage of self isolation - there is no-one to complain they can't move for seed trays  :D

    Self isolating/self sowing??  Yes, my Hubby usually complains about how much money I have spent on plants, not this year.  Mind you, I havent ordered any by post.  We go to a place in Eastbourne, its like a kind of warehouse, not glamorous, sells just about everything, was going to be sold this year, I gather the owner is retiring, there is another "branch" in Hastings, and it aparently has PP for blocks of flats. It re-opened Monday, got some lovelly scented roses £4.99, heucheras X 3, some varieties I dont know, an Astilbe, and a white carnation, they used to have their own nursery, which closed last year.  The plants are very well grown and looked after, and the gardeners very knowledgable.There is a garden club, used to be an hour, on a Saturday and Sunday moring and Thursday evening 10% off everthing, not running at the moment, we will all be heartbroken when it is closed and sold.

    😱 Flat packs are Gods punishment for industrialising society!

    Id rather bodge something together myself with timber and a saw, but its more expensive 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I'd rather go to a second-hand shop and buy a piece of solidly-made wooden furniture.  It would probably be cheaper than the flat-pack.  And last longer.

    I cut my own hair today and you can tell 🙈 Silver lining is it will make it easier to dye my hair tomorrow and it feels much better. Feels like a weight has been lifted.
