im here SGL, i imagine BM is choosing curtains or something, must be so stressful to be in a chain, i would hate to move house, far too much trouble!
you lot have been busy again, dont know where you get the energy from!
did get to go in the garden, have managed to lift and divide my j.anemones, collected some seeds and cleared the pumpkin patch, not much compared to you guys, but i have been for a long walk with the dog as he is 12 today....yes,i am that daft!
Evening all, Hope everyone is OK. I did start to read posts but everyone kept talking about sn***s and I can't stand them, so I've given up.
Back home, no Nanna Duty for two whole days. Hope I'll be able to get into the garden tomorrow, if it doesn't rain. My new Peony has been delivered, White Cap, hopefully I'll get it planted tomorrow.
Really tired tonight so I'll have a quick look round and call it a night.
Cor. Stiff. Dragging bales of wet bark chippings round is hard work... not as tough as what you've been getting up to though, Fairy. An impressive haul!
When we moved into our last house, an old farmhouse in Northumberland, the back garden was a concrete farmyard. The farmer we bought it from, broke the concrete up and took it away to make a road across his field, leaving us with a "garden" consisting of subsoil, compacted collapsed stone wall, old wellies, a 12ft length of tractor chain, boulders... Took 18 months to remove all the rubbish, mostly done by my lovely OH with a pickaxe (he increased his collar size in the process!). The first summer the garden was absolutely beautiful - full of cornfield weeds, whose seeds had presumably remained dormant under the concrete for the 20-something years the farmyard had been there. Almost seemed a shame to cover it with topsoil...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

We had curry tonight, too.
