Hello we have a real fire grate , burn a mixture of wood & coal , there are still a few people around hear with working chimneys and a couple of Coal Merchants
Don't use it all the time though but it is nice on a winters day
Always seem to get enough free wood to burn , got a few tree branches that I need to chain saw
Did think about a Stove but restricted in what you can burn on it
Silly little bit of rain, yesterday, followed by humid,then sunny day, silly bit of rain today, been out picked windfalls for crumble this evening.My cannas havent flowered this year, oy Verdun, dont be dissin my bananas!When my daughter gets over I will see if she can take pics with her phone, (and knows how to put them on here!) Their leaves arent ripped, aparently, they are designed to do that in their native countries,so they dont blow out of the ground in high winds.Picked a lemon made lemon drizzle cake.Are your cannas in the ground? I had good flowers last year.
To clarify...I fell out of a raised bed onto stones and with the result my right arm is out of commission. My elbow is a big purple swollen lump and I've pulled a muscle up into my armpit. My shoulder isn't all that happy either and my right bottom is a bit off too.
Usually when the weather is this bad I do indoors stuff. Can't do that either now.

Thanks for advice , I think I will clean it up and give it a feed
I know Honeysuckles are tuff things
No idea of variety , it has already flowered
Re the Honeysuckle - I cut one down to the ground once (having a new wall behind it) and it re-generated.
Just watered pots - rain coming on Friday to fill the water-butts and save the grass!
Hello , yes grass starting to go brown in patches
