    Good morning Biglad and Ante and all arriving later.
    Biglad, you are getting some grand work done there. My shed (which is coming down this year) is looking sadder and sadder. I will have to find some alternative supports for the clemmies and thornless blackberry.
    Ante, that was a long day for you yesterday. Hooray for Fridays eh? Hope your friend gets the garage lock sorted quickly for you.

    @Yviestevie - My goodness but you have been keeping your artistic skills to yourself for too long. I was absolutely blown away when I viewed your artwork on the Gardening Crafters thread. Deep respect to you Yvie - they are stunning!
    Have you given any thought to selling any?

    Didn't go to bed in the end - watched some tennis instead.

    I don't envy your weather @Ante1 - hope you get the garage fixed.

    When my shed eventually collapses @Ladybird4, I'm looking forward to replacing it with a greenhouse. However, having recently made the effort to attach a trellis and guttering/water butt, I want it to last for a few years yet. Even if it means just one decent season where it is adorned by the jasmine and honeysuckle that I've coaxed onto the trellis :) Will you be replacing yours with another shed?

    Not going to get another shed Biglad - I find that I use the GH and garage more nowadays. I would like the extra growing space. Mind you, I will feel guilty as for the last two years my wrens have been nesting in it. They get in through the tiniest gap in the badly fitting door. I will have to fix some bird boxes onto my Katsura tree - its big and robust enough now to take on an extra housing estate!

    Good morning everyone . I have just seen 3 Red kites .A beautiful sight. We often get them flying over the area but not 3 at a time . They were released several years ago from Harewood House .
    I hope everyone has a good day .

    Good morning Ruby. Are you doing the Big Garden Birdwatch this weekend. You are so lucky to see such magnificent birds. I've only ever seen them up in Scotland.

    Morning all.
    Ante, oh no, snow. Wrap up warm and steady away, don't fall.
    We had a restless night, waking up within the hour round to about five o clock. Windows wide open now, to hopefully let some germs out and I have to make a quick visit to SM to stock up on boxes of tissues. I'm down to my last box. Head feeling a bit thick this morning and OH is full of it, whatever it is.

    Morning all. No I don’t think they are good enough to sell it’s just a new hobby that I love. It’s helped me stay sane over the last few months and given me valuable me time. Thanks for your lovely comments

    Talking of sheds mine is becoming a bit decrepit. Had to use loads of DW40 to get in the other day only to find the telltale signs of mice. A kind neighbour has put a piece of wood along the bottom of the door and also strengthened the wood shed for me.  The mice will have to wait until I’m up to emptying the shed.

    LB yes I will do the bird watch . Quite looking forward to it .
    Yvie I think your painting are great . Hazel so sorry to read that you and OH are still unwell .Look after yourselves and keep warm .
    speaking of sheds and greenhouses . I would love both but if i bought even small ones I wouldn’t have a garden . My garden is so tiny .
