Mine Pam are still outside on the fence and will stay there till the frost gets them-if you have them indoors I am not sure if it is necessary to let them die back-LL/ Pam will know
Becks are you going to get your purse out and make an offer?
Havent yet got out, but tools, bulbs, wellies all ready & waiting. Think will have a peanut buttie before I start, otherwise will get starving & the faff of getting wellies etc off a bind. Trouble is by 3pm am starving again & there is cake........ok have already sneaked a mini carrot cake-1 of a batch that OH made this w/end.

Thinking that it is neccesary to have a snack and/or cup of refreshment before starting any job is something that I suffer from too.
I also have a tendency to think that I ought to check my computer for E-mails, etc, too, before actually starting any work. Also check Google News, in case of any national emergency, that I need to be aware of.
I hope to get outside, and start work, very soon. Will just have a cuppa first, and then I'll be raring to go.
Also have a two supermarket plastic carriers by the back door so, if I have to come indoors for yet another quick cuppa, I don't remove my gardening footwear, just put bags on and keep the house clean ;- ) (I think the men in white coats are coming up the driveway....)
Becks, pleased to hear Jess is feeling better, it's a worry when they aren't well
What a good idea Flo! I've just been round the garden in between cleaning the bathroom, oh the joy of it, and deciding the next job. A few pic I took on my travels around the garden, as you can see I'm no David Bailey
The acer is just starting to turn red. Now I have decided that I will have a coffee too. OH is battling with the pond pump, it's pipe work had come adrift, not a happy bunny.
Changing the subject as you do-well as I do-have been looking on line at property in Spain houses with garden and swimming pool for around £85,000-this seems like an excellent time to buy
£80,000 for a house and pool sounds like a bargain. But is there a greenhouse. TBH, I don't know if people have/need greenhouses in Spain.
Anyone could sell a house in, say, Southampton, for, say £160,000, and then buy two houses in Spain. They could live in one, and rent the other as holiday accommodation, bringing in, say, £200 per week, to help with those little luxuries. Or simply treat the second £80,000 as pocket money.
And no problem overwintering tender plants there. Provided it's the right part of Spain. I think Winters can get very cold inland.

Hmm, not just yet Geoff. I'm holding out for a house with a pool.
Jess is munching on eggy bread. She seems to have improved, and will be going to nursery.
That is Mrs Geoff's dream as well -oh well dream on
There is now a football job going at Bolton-should I apply?
Finally caught up with everybody!

House is going up for sale
Chris, gorgeous pics. I love those acers, don't know if I'm responsible enough to own one, though!
Geoff, you'll be inundated with visitors who fancy a sunny break with swimming thrown in.
