Morning all , did anyone have a problem with the site last night ? Couldn't access it as message kept telling me the web address could not be found. Very odd.
Watched some of the closing ceremony of the paralympics - liked the four seasons theme.
I know what you mean about landscaping being expensive. I would ring around for quotes first. The price can vary so much . One guy wanted over £200 to reduce the height of our tree . We got the job done for £40 and they also removed a conifer so I expect it would be the same with landscaping these days.
Dan, madness or what? I bet you feel well-chuffed with your achievement though.
I couldn't get into the GW website at all last night but I can see you managed to play nicely without me ;- ) I half-watched the closing ceremony but went to bed before the end
My sister-in-Wales lives in a Red Kite area. I found out that in the 'olden days' when they were common everywhere they were known as Shite Hawks because of their scavenging behaviour!
Well done Dan. It's makes you feel good to do something scarey. The zip wire at Eden Project next. I'm sticking to the zip wire in our local children's park which has just had a makeover.
Flo, my friends near Oxford would probably agree with that name for Red Kites. They said with in minutes of putting food out for the birds Kites would swoop down to get it. I was still fascinated to see them though. We've got lots of buzzards here and although they are mostly carrion eaters too, are quite shy so not a problem.
I think Summer is finally over. I watched a programme about the Artic ice melting and that could cause our summers to be wet in the future.
Hello Forkers, had a lovely camping weekend, the weather was just perfect! Others were complaining it was too hot but I just enjoyed it.
And I have a new-found claim to fame - I met Julia Bradbury at the weekend!
While I was away though no 2 son got knocked off his bike - by another cyclist! She apparently pulled out from behind a wall without looking and he hit her front wheel and fell off his bike. He was shaken, cuts, grazes and bruises but nothing that won't mend. His bike was also damaged though, so is now in the repair shop as its his means of transport to work.
Everything was back to normal this morning, everybody off to work apart from no. 3 son who was off to college. Alfie was not impressed at being deserted!
Well I took Flo's good advice and went out for the day, we went for a lovely walk around Wisley and had a nice bite to eat. I treated myself to a helenium, expensive but I priced them up before hand and the postage made it worthwhile.
Lottie sorry to hear about son, bikes on the roads make me very nervous.
Dan you are crazy.
pottiepam everytime they tell us what is going to happen the opposite happens, so next year we need them to predict a very wet summer.

Or, maybe ...........

Had a frantically busy weekend, attending a couple of village functions on both Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Have done no gardening at all.
Saw the paralympics closing ceremony, and the parade this afternoon. Noticed that Victoria Pendelton confirmed that she's in Strictly Come Dancing.
