Becks - that villa looks wonderful Hope you both have a great time, at least you will have some good weather! can't guarantee the same for us next week in Hereford, says changeable whatever that means.
Pam, it will be a wrench when kitten goes. I'll wait until after the weekend in case his owners have been away. I've never heard of that song, what a great sentiment! Have you told us about your chickens and I missed it? I'm down to two from my original four. I expect there will be chicken conversations when Geoff returns as he said he was going to get some more after his hols.
Becks, it looks lovely and if it's sunny and Jess is having fun you'll enjoy it :- ) About the cost of phoning etc, I was just thinking that if you're planning to check in here sometimes you don't want a nasty surprise when the bill comes. I've only heard about these things and don't go anywhere so can't make a useful comment on charges.
Becks you must check that every single time you have logged into the free wi-fi otherwise there will be a very nasty bill when you get home. The villa looks lovely.
I have posted about my chickens before,Flo. I have ten and one cockerel. I have a lot of trouble with foxes and even though the fox can't get in where they are in the photo they still fly over the gate. I could clip their wings but they wouldn't get up on the perch then.
I often wonder how people keep their plants watered when going on holiday for a prolonged period. Not too big a problem at this time of year, as it's not searingly hot.
I'll never forget Joe Swift's crackpot scheme of using a half-pint bottle, with a wick, to keep a hanging basket watered for a couple of weeks.
I expect you can get watering systems these days that you can switch on and off over the internet. I suppose that's what the WiFi is provided for.
Gary, I bought some bright orange spikes from our garden centre and you attach a water bottle to them. I also bought some coloured black glassball with spikes from Aldi a couple of weeks ago that you fill with water and stick into the pots. Haven't tried any yet though.
Having woken up really early this morning,got up had a cuppa and went back to bed. Did a lot of driving yesterday and didn't sleep well the previous night, think it must have taken its toll, I woke up at 12.30 now I feel horrible. Headache and a husky voice, hope I'm not sickening for something, right at the start of the new term!
Flo, have a listen to it on Spotify, it's good,but it will stick in your head
Pam, I guessed you had probably posted abou them before but things move quickly here and it's easy to miss posts and piccies. It looks an idyllic scene. I had trouble with flying chickens when Lizzie was around so, even though I had a fence built, I couldn't leave the two young dogs outside at the same time as the chooks. I'm amazed to see you have grass. My girls grubbed up the lot on their side of the fence.
Glyn, thanks for the Spotify idea. If I get an ear-worm I'll know who to blame ;- )
A view of my garden from my computer desk, taken by a friend who visited the other day. If you look VERY closely you can see an embarrassment of cobwebs on the window!
Evening lovelies. Just saying goodbye before the frenzy starts. My laptop will be the first thing to be set up over there tomorrow, so hopefully the 'free wifi' will let me log on. Have a great weekend/week all of you.
