Morning everyone, early start here when the bell went just before 8. A very pleasant young man telling us that a blade of a windmill would be coming thro this afternoon and he had to cut back everything sticking over the wall. ( when we first came here there were 7 lost count now
There is no negotiation. Government scheme. Thanks Nicola. When we lost the old Lime tree two years ago we replanted that corner. The rubus was looking good as was the forsythia and holly And rhodos are just coming back
i suppose at least they asked. Oh worried about out wall, 3ft dry stone. Think there might be a bit if garden patrol going on today!
have a nice day everyone, think I will take myself off to the woods

Good morning all (just), hi Pat. I loved your photo - there's gold in them there hills. Clever bit of knitting too.
LilyP what a shame. I hope there's no damage but you should take some before and after pics and send them to Nicola.
Plant pauper the world loves a trier. Wish I lived near to fidget and Hazel.
Lizzie I hope your travel plans aren't disrupted. What a pain and why do they think that burning tyres will make people see things from their point of view?.
We're off to Edinburgh this afternoon to meet up with our nephew and family who are up from Newcastle think we're going to an Italian restaurant as the children love pizza.
Afternoon Am sitting out trying to cool down after mowing the lawn (I might have let it grow a bit ) Have done some impromptu weeding too.... it's not like the garden hasn't needed it Am admiring my geums
and my arch
Shame there is no scent to the roses.... but then I didn't plant them
It is cold and very wet here? Persisting down half the night (didn't sleep well so heard it) and all morning and is still at it. Now we have water running along the road and a nice bit of aquaplaning on the level part towards town.
Have done a horror shop and am now stocked up with organic eggs and lemons to make lemon curd for the ladies at my patchwork class on Thursday. One really likes it and the others have never tasted it. Not a Belgian thing.
We have a schedule of train strikes here - anti austerity and so on. Possum starts her exams tomorrow so one of us has to drive her to Namur, hang around an hour, drive her to Jambes for her Patrimoine project and then fetch her home. There won't be any parking available and traffic will be heavy - but nothing like south London on Saturday!
BL - you must be so frustrated. Hope you get to Norfolk OK.
4P - I like your arch and agree about roses needing perfume. If the sun ever shines, my Kiftsgate will be flowering in a few days and I'll take a photo. You'll have to imagine the pong.
Hope your trip goes well Dove. We stop every couple of hours too when we go on hols but that's to let the dogs stretch their legs tho we now find they can do 4 hours no bovver as they just sleep now they're used to it.
It is so cold here I need to go and find a cardi.

Back from a rare expedition into Sheffield. I go so rarely, I can barely find my way around.
Marital disharmony, as OH said she would phone when she had done her bits, and we would meet for coffee. Of course I did not have mobile turned on, although I did eventually realise.
Hopefully get a couple of hours outside, placing Dahlias where I think they will best be planted.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

Been shopping, forgot the slow release fertiliser granules for my pots
Whitsun was Sunday 15th May. I think in England it's now just the Spring bank holiday on the last weekend in May.
