    Liverpool, BM.

    Lazy days good idea.  Creases may hang out of curtains if re-hand when still damp.  I probably ought to do mine.

    I never would have guessed! I'll read your posts with a different accent now lol so what about Belgium? Holiday home? Sorry nosey moo ain't I image

    Only been to Liverpool once with my bf for a girly holiday and we had the best five days ever image

    Youre right about the curtains, think I'll run upstairs now and hang em image

    Nah - not a Scouser!  Edge of London, originally; Dad was a Cockney (although didn't sound like it).

    If you went back there now you'd hardly recognise lots of it.

    I meant re-hung, as you deduced.image

    No BM - would be fatal if I worked in that nursery! image

    Managed to restrain myself - replaced the geraniums I bought from Jackson's with the one I actually ordered - renardii. If only the nursery had been stocking it at the time I ordered it would have saved me money image Got a low growing sedum - Ruby Glow which has quite dark flowers, but not the purple stemmed one I was going for. Also a Libertia 'Goldfinger'  for near the pond....which has been cleaned and filled, and was being used by two young magpies when I came home!  I still have some gravel to get and organise plants but the local wildlife can get use of it now. imageimage

    Damp curtain hanging? Think I'd still have to iron them Steve...image

    Wire mesh over the bulbs when you plant DD - easier when they're in pots. That works quite well , unless you're invaded by them.  Mainly the small ones they go for - crocus etc. I've used fine plastic netting as well although I'm not bothered by mice here in this area. More of a problem when I was rural, but we only had daffs and snowdrops. Rabbits ate everything else so we stuck with those. Mice never touched the snowdrops but they probably didn't need to - plenty of other stuff for them to eat!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    If the white mouse comes back, I'll try and get a photo.

    I bought a few plants from the nursery today.aconitum,crocosmia hellfire,trilliums,agapanthus navy blue

    Now where are they going to go?

    Mmm Fairy and Fidget - I can't remember the last time I bought a plantimage  Yours sound lovely.  I am fascinated by trilliums and will give them a try when I find the right place.

    Your pond's nearly there now Fairyimage 

    I would love to see a pic of your mouse and the vole fidget not necessarily together thoughimage

    Can't remember who it was but someone once spoke about having a 'firebreak' to interrupt the weeds from outside the garden.  That's what we are trying to do in our battle of the brambles and buttercups.  Hard work thoughimage (that's panting today)

    My OH's Dad was a Cockney too Steve. I'm another one who tends to put an accent to what I'm reading.  Easy with an autobiography but harder on hereimage

    Did Steve's tip work with the curtains Beaus?

  • Beaus MumBeaus Mum Posts: 3,550

    Oh Steve curtains up and what a palaver, don't look no different except creased image

    If they don't fall out by morning I'll be after you imageimage

    Oh fairy and fidget you have been happy shopping whilst I've been wrestling with curtains, wish I had come with you instead image They sound lovely choices image

    Lesley, panting ?? image Sure you've been weeding? image
