    Is that lovely dog another rescue Greyhound? I keep encountering people with these lovely dogs.

    See original post

    That particular one is a rescue lurcher. We do have a rescue greyhound too image

    I'm off to take some photos of the bad bits then. I wonder where I left the machete..........

    Burren's great thanks B3.

    You'll be glad to hear that all of nature is conspiring with the GoS.

    I swept all the dead sticks and fluff into a wee heap at the end of aforementioned area of outstanding unnatural beauty and as I was enjoying a coffee and admiring my busy work, Mrs Blackbird came and scattered it liberally hither and thither! Sake! I was just finished...the insects hadn't even had a chance to move in! Dopey bird.

    Blackbird was evidently too hungry to wait for it to cook, PP. I'm like that with cake image

    So OK, you wanted a stack of roof tiles

    It's round the back of the veg patch with the old fence posts and last year's brassica net that I took off in the autumn and forgot to move until it had completely grown in in spring

    And it gets worse. You know when you're a novice veg gardener, right? And you get a book. And it says 'rotation' and '4 raised beds'. And all that good stuff. Did all that, see and then realised I can't deal with 4 big beds so reduced it to the two middle ones divided in half to give me 4 smaller ones. And the plan was to make the other two into perennial beds and one of them I did. But, the last one sort of got left. image

    I suppose round beds would be easier to rotate and I have only one spade so I can't double dig.  Worms and frost, the best garden companions for the sloth.

    Hazel my Burren is on page one. We call it "The Bandstand" in these parts but some cheeky people on here refered to it as The Burren.

    This is the actul Burren in Co Clare.

    It's the most amazing natural landscape I've ever seen. Well worth the trip. Ireland is one of the most beautiful countries and the West coast is one of the most beautiful parts of it. Wild Atlantic coastline and empty beaches.

    This is my Burren! Just the very same as the original! image
