I leave you lot alone for a couple of days and it's like I'm entering the twighlight zone. It's all gone a bit weird and wonderful and totally surreal.
Muddles at it with the modern art installations, gritty bottoms, aquamarina, overstuffed handbags and glamorous waders.
No need to iron sheets, (whats all that about) buy the ones with elastic corners and simply stretch the wrinkles out.
Hazel and Sparkles: Way too much empty space at the side of those sheds, take note of Faywray who is perfecting the art of hidden stackage.
Nice to see Wren posing majestically whilst "on safari" in pp's jungle. You should have a go at competitive veg growing.
I think there's something a bit 'James and the giant peach' about your soil.
I overheard (earrywigged) a conversation in a local restaurant last year about a couple who had fabulous gardens which they opened to the public. They moved away and when asked how his new garden was the gent said he "had the land but not the soil"! I know exactly what he meant by that. It's good stuff here.
I measured my Phormium. it's seven feet high. I only asked Wren to sit in the first one. She took upon herself to do the rest.
I keep forgetting to do fat writing for lurkers (Pansy!)
Completely forgot about the buried treasure (there was so much to read back on)
Can't compete with a 3 piece suite but I do have a claw foot cast iron bath buried in the foundations of the conservatory.
It must have sat in the garden for 6 months following the bathroom/plumbing/drains refit. Asked the conservatory builders to chuck it in the skip when they started but they smashed it up and buried it instead.
Sledge hammer Muddle, we did ask if they knew of a scrap place where we could sell it but apparently there was no demand for them.
Hubby still misses it as it was huge and really deep ( he's 6'2"), too big for my tiny bathroom though, don't know what the previous owners were thinking.
Love this thread. My dad buried his war time service pistol in the back garden in end RH corner. Haven't got round to dealing with that area yet but hoping to find it ! Oh yes there's also a marble gravestone of some chap that died in 1949! Pretty sure there's no body but my hollyhocks are looking marvellous!

RB asked for an ID on another thread so I said it was a big weed and it was in her garden and ran away.
I don't think she saw me!

We had one when we were newly married. . . 2 baths for the price of one

Remember my side grid with the manky cat litter brush a few pages back? They're in the bottom of the old veg rack
Proper big old brass things, a nightmare to keep clean.
Good as new with a bit of Brasso
Don't know. Did you?
