    Just watched 'Your Garden made Perfect' on BB2, interesting ideas, huge gap between the two budgets but showed what could be done with good ideas and hard work.
    Shame to see the young monkey puzzle tree just cut down which I thought could possibly have been dug up and donated elsewhere. 
    Did anybody else watch it?

    Sounds good @Busy-Lizzie .  What's the shop?

  • Yes @Lizzie27 we saw the programme. We wondered if they might move the tree.  I thought the young man's garden was great, he must have had a great sense of achievement and learned a lot.

    Not come across those @Busy-Lizzie but I see there's one at L'Aiguillon-sur-Mer.   Might just go and check it out cos they look like an Aladdin's cave.

  • Monkey puzzles grow so huge that I was relieved to see it removed...  glad the couple chose the design they did, but I was a bit worried about the state of that acer.  It appeared to be summer, but it had hardly any leaves.
    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

  • Morning @Dovefromabove,

    Coffee very much needed, suffering from tooth extraction yesterday, sucking on porridge at the moment feeling very sorry for myself. :(

  • Oh poor you @D0rdogne_Damsel ... here you are ☕️ ☕️ ☕️ 

    I’ve got two elderly and very decrepit molars that I suspect in pre-Covid times would’ve been removed by now ... but they’re not painful and I’m keeping them as clean as possible 🤞

    Thinking of you @Yviestevie, and hoping things start looking better very soon 🤞🏻

    A beautiful morning here - cold, but blue skies and very still.  Really noticing the birdsong beginning to build as they get ready for spring.

    Won my battles with the website I am editing yesterday .....google is a wonderful thing 🤣

    Had a long chat with an old work friend last night .....lots of gossip to catch up on.  Hope I will be able to meet up with her soon 😳.  Need travel restrictions to be lifted first.

    @D0rdogne_Damsel ....love those little green shoots of hope 🌱🌱🌱
