I'm looking at Bungalows for sale with land. I suspect we will be moving soon. A bit earlier than I had hoped. Good job I hadn't ordered the truck full of manure. I do have a pallet of rock dust and another of grit to consider moving, not to mention the contents of several compost heaps. I guess I had better start getting the garden into saleable condition. ie neat and boring.
Sorry you're having to move Fidget, but understand why. Hope you find something with huge garden transformation potential soon.
Wow Lizzie, your Mum has an amazing story .....others are still in admiration today, even if it is one she didn't talk about herself.
a pottering sort of day for me this morning, then down to visit Dad in the hospital and then on to a festive dinner with the outlaws this evening (bit late, but there were calendar challenges)
Been slightly awol so have only read the last page. Hope you're not feeling too rough Dove
Very sad about your neighbour, fidget. We're gradually losing that direct physical contact with the WW2 which I find worrying sometimes. Have I missed why you're moving too?
I agree with you too doc - I think that whole generation were more humble and just 'got on with it'. My parents were like that. BL - wonderful story abut your mum. They did so much for my generation and those to follow, yet they didn't boast or brag about any of it. A perfect example of what I mean. Not saying it's always a good thing to keep quiet about certain things, but what a huge, and often unpleasant, swing in the other direction there's been in the last 50 years or so.
No walking this weekend - decided it was a very long way for a fairly unexciting walk, so I've been painting and hole filling and sanding etc instead.
Hope dad is well, chicky
I also watched the birds for a while as they all descended for their lunch. Both nuthatches were in the feeder together, so they seem to be a reasonably permanent fixture
A starling attempted entry - but was foiled by the size of the holes, which the nutties just slip through no problem, and looked on the ground for the fallout instead. Everyone's a winner
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
You lurky sufferers need to get yourself out here in the hot sun. That'll sort you all out.
Chicky.... Hammer Lane , would that be one that leads down to the little bridge where Hants, Surrey and Sussex all meet? Trout farm? Or is it another one entirely?
Little hazy sun today but still lovely. perfect to lie by the pool.

Coughin and sneezing like a good 'un here - I'm going back to bed ... See you later ...

Good idea Dove. Hope you can get some relief soon.

ordered to remain on sofa
But I've just been watching a small flock of long tailed tits on the feeders not six feet from our front window
