Morning everyone, I have joined the ranks of the creaky brigade this morning, yesterday's exploits have caught up with me. Always interesting @Pat E as your season ends ours begins, I have Acers that colour but that's because they are still unfurling their leaves.
Morning all, a cold 10 deg and rain today and doesn't look any better for the next few days, the temps in the unheated GH are fluctuating badly at the moment. A man was supposed to turn up and start our plaster boarding in our extension, but I have a feeling that won't happen this week! Lovely picture Pat as always. Have a good few days with MIL Dove and give those seedlings a talking to before you go. Neighbour has been round with a good big lettuce, I don't know how she keeps the slugs and snails off....probably best not to know. Take care all of you with aches and pains....go slowly!
Morning folks,ok Dove,you ready. My youngest daughter is having a baby, due date is 28th September,AND she is moving Thursday,4 miles away,to that well known seaside resort. Offered to pay for removers,they are blooming expensive. So I've been going back and forth collecting stuff. Got movers for the big stuff,cos she's pregnant,old man has useless rotator cuff,mo,2 useless hands,her bloke ripped right down his finger with a metal broom. It's a 3 storey house,4 flights of stairs!
Morning all. Staying out of the garden after a marathon clear-up session yesterday - lots of brash burned and half a big bank cleared of brambles. Will wait until the multitude of rips and punctures I've collected are healing well before tackling the other half, thankfully nothing appears infected overnight.
Our roe deer turns up most days for a browse through the wild raspberry and anything else she fancies. She has been a bit harassed with all the extra holiday traffic through the common next door. None of the local dog walkers keep their dogs on a lead despite the signs at the entrance telling them to do so.
Yesterday I pruned the Malvern Hills rose. I like to do it at this time of year, easier to see what is old and dead and what is growing leaves. I only cut out the dead stuff, there is usually quite a lot, but it's a big rose and it was out of control when we moved here, couldn't walk under the rose arch. Now it is quite orderly.
A carpenter has come to fit the porch for the kitchen door. OH bought the porch a few months ago but it was winter. Been waiting 3 years for him to get around to it! We agreed over 3 years ago that I would deal with the new kitchen and kitchen floor and new carpets and he would deal with the 2 new windows and the porch. The porch will make the house look prettier and make it easier when it's raining to come back with bags of shopping and unlock the door.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I quite like most of ‘em. Just have to get a well-trained one, otherwise we have to lower our expectations. Some of ‘em look ok but are daft as a brush. 😉
