    Hosta - why not load your pics into Photobucket or similar so you can share links instead?

    Pat E - drones are used by estate agents now to sell houses - http://s211.photobucket.com/user/Obelixx_be/media/160621%20House/P200015130789_zpsgkxgjezg.jpg.html?sort=2&o=17 Tdreading today's vote and outcome which seems like it will be very close.  I do hope you lot get it righthis is our pile in late April/early May.  

    Love the Mexican flag initiative in Scotland.   I hope loads more people take it up.

    Quietly dreading today's vote as it seems so close.  Can't believe how badly informed so many people are nor how short-sighted and deceitful and personal glory grasping are so many politicians nor how the media have behaved.  Not exactly a lot of investigative, unbiased, analytical journalism going on.

    Whatever the result things are going to be messy in the aftermath.  I just hope you've voted for the future and not the past.

    It is Liri - we bought German made ones for the quality and future recyclability (and EU jobs) and we got the max allowed under the Belgian system of green subsidies thinking we would convert the barn and live in it but with all the new building regs it would have cost twice as much as it would add value so we're selling up and buying something easier for us to look after as we age disgracefully.

    Dunno what's happened to my last post as it has come out garbled and not in bold - again!

    A clear majority would be a surprise indeed.

    Lovely big borders Obelixx but a lot to maintain. Are you going to have a smaller garden?

    No.  Smaller house - bigger but easier garden.  Priorities!

    We haven't been gallivanting today. But we went for a cup of tea with neighbours who moved in semi opposite to our cottage in Norfolk in April. They are nice and she says she will water my new rambling rose on the front porch.image

    No need for that at the moment image - we've had loads of rain here today and thunder and lightening this afternoon.

    We went to a local supermarket and to Wickes for a manhole cover. I've never been to Wickes, nice kitchens.

    Tomorrow Dove, Topbird and I are going to Peter Beales Classic Roses. Happily the forecast is now good, sunny, but I think I'll believe it when I see it!

    Hello image  I'm back - solicitor impressed with my files and is going to deal with probate for both parents, picking up Pa's from where we'd got to when Ma turned poorly.  

    Lots of banging, crashing and flashing going on in the heavens this evening, but it was dry today - I had my top down driving down to Suffolk and back image

    Looking forward to our outing tomorrow BL - the forecast looks fine, but I'll bring my brolly just in case.  

    Now I'm going to flollop on the sofa 'cos I'm image
