Back from GC (left the witch hazel behind - £30 was a bit steep) and the GH.
Had a nice time pottering with seeds and cuttings. That is until ......spoiler alert for those eating their tea ..... I couldn't work out why the watering can that had been left full in the GH was not pouring properly. Looked inside to find not one, but two drowned mice. Screamed so loud i woke up the neighbours ..... Yuckkk, still shuddering now
Re previous post of mine about a mouse I found in watering can, OH says we should install ladders in them so they can climb out...... and he thinks I'm bonkers.
Gosh Stacey that must have been awful, so glad you are almost 100% better. Andy, fingers crossed everything is ok. So many people poorly, it makes me feeling sorry for myself last night look rubbish!!! Hugs to all the poorly people xoxo
We found a drowned squirrel in a large pot at last house - think it was my dad's big glazed pot which doesn't have holes in the bottom. I don't know if it was the same squirrel that ran across the grass straight into the pond a few days earlier...not too clever - but it was very funny! It's a bit horrible to see them dead though chick - even when they're vermin.
Lizzie that's put me off my dinner.....
Just been checking out the first draft drawing from architect for the extension. What is it with men? Specifically asked for a window to be on the back wall of the bedroom with the french doors, and not at the front. What's he done...... sigh....
Fidget- it's ok. We know you're not bonkers really
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Living in Dordogne we are lucky enough to have a swimming pool, fairly common here. Once I went to see family in England and a friend came to see my horses daily. She found a baby wild boar, drowned in the pool, so she fished it out and laid it on the lawn, then forgot it. When I came home a few days later it reeked! Weather in mid 30's. She then rang me to say she'd left it there because it looked so cute and she thought I might like to see it. I had to dispose of it and it was full of maggots! YUK!
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Discussing who is and isn't bonkers and whether 'formers' in general are bonkers seems to becoming a regular occurrence in this thread.......do you think that tells us something Dead animals, urgghhhh, I would have screamed too.
The other summer I asked my eldest to empty out my compost bin which hadn't been secured properly since we bought the house. Suddenly he came running down the garden to the house, hysterical, arms waving everywhere and what he was saying is unrepeatable in here (usually I would have told him off but it was too funny!!), apparently a rat had jumped out on him (we do back onto fields!). Scarred him for life apparently and he won't even put the green rubbish in the compost bin now!!!
