    Sounds good Busy.  I make lots of cakes - not for us but for garden group meetings and dance club activities.  The Belgians love them as they don't have their own cake tradition.  Great on tarts though.

    Rasta doggy very sleepy now so contemplating raking the veg bed and scattering chicken pellets so I can plant babies tomorrow.

    Ooh, that's not nice of you Busy L to make us crave such food.  I'm trying hard to keep to a diabetic type regime.  I've had to get strict with Hubby who loves to bake (and eat) such things. He makes a super-duper banana cake,image

    Still no rain and it's almost 10pm. All the dam levels are down.  Luckily we don't have to use them for irrigation purposes. They are just there for the wildlife to enjoy

    Hazel, the parsley was really good this year.  I use it in lots of recipes and the dried supply keeps me going over winter. I dry the chives as well and they are very useful out of season.image

    i think we'll have an early night tonight, so I'm signing off.   1st May coming up.

    What a shame.  Instant and deadly universal poison is just what we need to be able to buy.image

    I am sure if you need to buy it some old boy will have some lurking at the back of his, why don't you put an add out for it.

    Good afternoon folks image. More wood shavings purchased, plus large lidded plastic box for keeping them in along with some Chew Tubes not to mention egg trays from the farm shop. I can't put a link on cos I'm posting from my phone, but Google Adobe Gerbilarium and you'll see where nieces gerbils live image

    Cyanide..... why not whizz up a load of laurel leaves and shove 'em down the hole?  Just be careful not to breathe.

  • Thought I'd drop in folks. New driveway been installed over the last few days. Front privett hedge removed. Manky front lawn gone (wet and soggy in the winter, burned dry in the summer) and beds widened with the creation of a nice big triangular bed at the front (left side of the pic) which is going to be planed up with as wildlife friendly a selection of plants as I can sort out! Central to that bed will be a crabapple tree.
