    Morning all.

    My handy man in France sent me an email last night to say that deer have got into my garden and have been eating the roses 😠

    A bit of ‘early autumnal pruning’ @Busy-Lizzie? 😠

    I hope it isn't more than pruning @Dovefromabove. In my last garden deer killed roses and ate perennials too until I met OH and he fenced the main flower garden bit and the vegetable garden.

    I hope the day goes well for you and your son.

    Hi all
    Still trying to get my dentist to answer the phone.
    Hope all goes smoothly today, @Dovefromabove.

    Thanks for the link @Dovefromabove - amazing how journalists use a different vocabulary from one's own when they quote what one has said!  But a good write up.
    Glad you and OH can enjoy Christmas together in France @Busy-Lizzie - and perhaps get someone to get some fences off before the deer do any more rose pruning.
    Hope you get a bit of a dry spell @Pat E, so you can hang your washing out!  Ours goes over a rack in the kitchen - even when it is not raining it is too damp now for it to dry outside.
    Had a good night's sleep but we had our covid and flu injections yesterday.  The flu arm is fine, but the covid arm is a bit hurty.  So I'm going back to bed with a cup of tea to read my Gardens Illustrated.  Today is a day off.

    Nature is amazing, the pond has been dry for several months, but the weekend rain has got the stream flowing and the pond filled up, and this morning on my way out to open the g/h, there was a heron fishing away.

    Hope your son’s op goes well @Dovefromabove 🤞🏻

    Yesterday’s mission to clear up the greenhouse went well.  Today’s mission is to wash it.  I have my waterproofs at the ready ☔️

    Morning all, scaffolders turned up first thing to dismantle the scaffolding now that the roof is done. Amazing how quickly it goes up then comes down. Next task is to sort out a blocked drain :/
