    Lesley - the problem is that when  it starts to rain - it may not go off till next spring....image

    Wonks - could you fashion a 'pergola type thingy' (that's the correct technical term by the way) with climbers so that you're not overlooked? image

    KEF - have you really been bumping up the insurance on Mr KEF?  'Help, help - there's been a terrible accident...'  image

    Poor Mr KEFimage.  Umm, bacon roll for lunch thenimage.  I'd been wondering what to make and Wonky's stuff would mean a trip to the SM and take more effort.  Lazy, me, whatimageimage.

    imageThank you everyone image yes very proud! 

    Lol Lesley, I'd guess it's his 'seat!'   image  But he says nothing aches at the moment! 

    Here's a pic he took on route.

    Hope Mr Kef is ok.

    Need a cool down and coffee! image

    KEF / Mr KEF - ouch - that could have been very nasty - he deserves a little TLC.

    For all those in the north having to water their gardens - welcome to my East Anglian world. Not for nothing did Beth Chatto design a dry garden just down the road image But hot on the hills - wow - you really are having a good start to the summer. 

    Wonks - I like the sound of Fairy's idea of some sort of pergola style arrangement. It doesn't have to be a full pergola and you might need to leave accesses for maintaining walls etc (boring...) but perhaps a series of strong arch type structures? Nice planting BTW

    Ooh just finished the lawns and it's hot, hot, hot out there. Popped in for a cool glass of water.  Wonky you could try erecting a home made Sail Shade, they look quite good and you wouldn't have to keep it up the time, just when you fancied a bit of privacy. 

    This time next week I will be on my way to Sissinghurst and Great Dixter, really looking forward to my 4 day stay in that part of the world.image
