OMG.... Just fell asleep watching the news on Paris then started having a nightmare and shouting out loud in my sleep, it felt so real, I was being chased some men with guns : (
Working weekend finished although got up with fluffy bear this morning to give OH a lie in. He's desperately tired from the astonishing amount of work he squeezes into the average week do you think he deserves one of those new TVs for Christmas? Gonna have to enlist the help of his brother to buy it since *new* is about the extent of my technical knowledge
Hope poorly peeps are on the mend, and the world can learn to see the beauty in different, not the hate Jeeeez, I sometimes regret bringing children into this world to face a future with so many problems
Gym at the reasonable hour, no shopping but plenty more diy to be getting on with
Hi Dove and everyone else. Dove, I've noticed comments earlier about Ash trees. What is happening that they seem to be a problem?.
I been pulling out some of the Broccolini plants because it's obvious the season is nearly finished. I can't believe what a great crop Ive had thsee last few months.
We're expecting 30c tomorrow which I know Hosta would love but I'm not looking forward to.
We have two large ash trees at the end of our garden. One hasn't been doing well over the past few years - we think it's partly due to the fact that it is very close to neighbouring garages and doesn't get so much water, and this seems to have weakened it and it's showing some symptoms typical of the disease. We're getting it taken down quickly as we hope that this will give the other tree, which looks much healthier, the best chance of survival.
We'll miss the tree - it's always full of birds and insects - but at least we'll still have one - and the silver lining is that the roots won't be parching that part of the garden, and I'll have the chance of growing something in an area that used to be dry as dust in the summer.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Pat - there is a disease affecting ash trees (common name is Ash Tree Dieback - Dove will remember the full name)
Started on the continent - came here on the wind so those of us in East Anglia were the first to be affected about 2 years ago. Has spread very quickly. At the moment my 2 trees are OK.
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down

Rained all day here.
Panda, hope you feel better soon.
Glad you had a good day Dove.
MD's new show. Anyone startled by a " secret"?
Not I.
What an anticlimax

Good morning all
Dry and breezy here today and ridiculously mild - the poorly ash tree is due to come down on Friday ...

G'day Pat
Sadly there's a disease which has spread in from the continent which is killing off our native ash trees https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/chalara-management-plan
