I love the big sash window. Perhaps you could open a shop where you could sell objets trouves which you trouved while fossicking about in your garden. People will buy anything if you dust it off and play a bit of Bach in the background.
Me, I've gorra Clanger. Not appropriate for an abandoned old shop windie on a busy road but somehow appropriate for this thread. Didn't they live in dustbins?
I loved the clangers too, think they lived on the moon and the bin lids were the doors on top of the craters. Soup dragon lived underground as well but the iron chicken was up in the sky on a cloud. ??
Totally bonkers TV but highly entertaining
Bagpus sprung to mind because he lived in an abandoned shop full of unwanted stuff. "But Emily loved him" Ahhh.
If you already have the mice in residence muddle up, you just need to get hold of a "marvelous mechanical mouse organ". I'm sure they could then have the place fixed up in no time
Very true. I once went to a criminally expensive 'farm shop' in a very posh part of Gloucestershire. I had barely got over the price tag on a quite nice jumper (£1200. I'm not even kidding) when I spotted the very artistically arranged in a sparkly bucket of pine cones glued to sticks, sprayed silver and on sale for £15 each.
OH had to tow me out of the shop backwards while I spluttered.
Gardening on the edge of Exmoor, in Devon
“It's still magic even if you know how it's done.”
It was quite funny really. I picked it up, because it looked quite nice, looked at the price, quietly put it back. OH came up to me - that's quite nice - how much? I said 'too much'. He said, 'well, how much?'. 'Guess'. He started at £50, was fairly squeaking by the time he got to £500 and I was still saying 'nah, higher'.
It was shortly after that I tripped over the sparkly bucket
How the other half lives, eh? It's apparently Sam Cam's favourite shopping outlet outside London. It's worth going to just so you can say you've been to a 'farm shop' where all the apples are perfectly identical and lined up to all be exactly the same way round. Quite apart from the insane price, you wouldn't buy anything for fear of messing up the display.

Just returning to the point of this thread , I have just picked a nice big bowl of blackberries from the bramble patch by the back door. . I'm not posting any pictures of my neglected garden bits because that's almost all of it. It would be possible to show you the bits that aren't shamefully overgrown, except I haven't mowed the grass for 3 weeks and everywhere currently looks like a jungle.
Blackberries taste nice though

Raisin post a pic. It's got to be done to get us back on piste. Talking of which, there's a bottle of wine in the fridge.
Ah yes, the point of the thread, we got a bit carried away on other topics
A primula ID posted this morning reminded me about these poor beggars
Dug em up when I was tidying up the manky corner earlier in the year. Have been sitting on that green plastic chair ever since.
Go ahead and post a pic raisingirl, there's no judgement here on the "GOS"
