    Gary - high quality free leaf compost it may be but not if you aren't really sure what you are doing - know more now than before. i accidently bought a too small compost tardis, so thought I would use that for leaves. Now overflowing. I have builders bags - but they are still full of building stuff so can't use them so i am afraid todays harvest has had to go in the council brown bin - and now that's over flowing as well! Wiill have to wait for it to be emptied so that I can fill it again. Now next year, back of GH will be cleared, builders bags will be empty and I will have more knowledge - well hopefully I willimage

    Seems we are on strange men now. looking at latest Jimmy Saville stuff my old spinster aunt used to call him a dirty old man - it seems she was right!

    For building stuff I now ask builder next door for tradesman recommendations. before that used to ask about but in roof hole emergencies guess I would go to trading standards

    Near where my son lives is a town called Idle - we found it very funny when we went passed a van with Idle Builders written on the side!!

    Geoff, It's about tourists who normally go on holiday to posh, top notch hotels and resorts, but then get taken, without them knowing what is going on, to local poor towns to live for a week, to see the 'real' truth about the area they have gone. And how the locals rely on tourists to live. Quite good. image

    Hi Pam!

    Glad all is ok so far. image

  • Hello Pam, good that things are ok.

    Hello Maud, shame about the hole - yes that is bollox.

    Becks, yes of course all men are strange - I should know as I live with 4 of them.

    Bjay, all sounds like hard work - can you come and do mine when you're finished there? You can bring the wheelbarrow!

    Had a thought this morning - blowing your nose whilst sitting on the toilet - an excellent example of multi-tasking!

    Men aren't that strange, they're different. Vive la difference!

    Mowed up the leaves from the copper beech this afternoon. Found a dead badger in the lean-to, rather thin, poor thing. I wonder if that is why the cat has a wounded eye. The vet said she had stabbed herself with something in the woods, just before I went to England and she had to have 4 eyedrops a day so she went into kennels with the dog. When I got back from England the contents of the ice box in the covered terrace were all eaten and on the ground and the fridge door was open. It must have been the badger. The family must have left stuff in there when they came for Christmas. It's a small fridge I use for drinks in the summer and overflow when family come.

    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
