Gardens generally don't survive the gardener, sadly Garden for yourself and not for posterity
Very true. We bought our current house because of the size of the garden, not the design. It has been remodelled a couple of times since we moved in and if we moved I'm sure new owners would have their own ideas too.
How did you attract a sparrowhawk? I've got a wood pigeon that hangs around a lot. Every time it appears all the other birds from various finches, blackbirds and lots of other small birds disappear. I only want it to hang around until the deed is done of course!
Just got the car back from MOT and service. We barely did 2K miles last year . It's all the little bits that add up like wiper blades, air con re-gas etc. Things that deteriorate just with the car sitting on the drive . Hey Ho I will be passing the begging bowl round later.
If I take the car in for a service I make a point to fill the washer fluid to the brim. They always charge for topping up the fluid so you know they're taking the p**s with other bits that were probably fine as well.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
What a bunch of sneaky sainsbury's bar stewards! Thought I'd treat myself to a muffin. Red traffic lights throughout but it was a treat and the percentages didn't look that bad. As I was throwing the packaging away, I noted that the nutritional data was for half a muffin Who the @#@$%^&^#=5 east half a muffin????
I have to remind OH every time but I always make him empty out any rubbish, make sure the interior is tidy and the outside has been washed and that all light bulbs work and fluids have been topped up from oil to windscreen washer. MOTs are done by government testing centre garages, not commercial service garages.
What did they get us for? New tyres and the horn. New tyres, fair enough but the horn works fine except when you bash the bit that says " horn ". Bash either side of that and it's fine so he put stickers on the wheel to say "klaxon". Passed. Good job too as, apparently, the horn dooberry can only be replaced by an official OPEL dealer which would have been expensive.

I remember trying to feed Calpol to mine. How can you measure what's gone in and what's all over their clothes ? If you try again, will you poison them with an overdose? The terrors of a first child.

Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
