    50 days of electioneering, party political broadcasts and general nastiness and sniping.  Thank heavens for gardening!   

    I am 5'6 and a bit and find wheelbarrows OK but the bloody Dyson and the Karcher steam cleaner were clearly made with smaller people in mind as I have to bend to use them.  Love my Wolf handles in varying lengths so I can pick the best for the task in hand.

    Skirt done.  Now for lunch and then irises.

    Obelixx, we also have local council elections in May so have already had the leaflets, phone calls and political party broadcasts.image

  • There was some other news today that's getting buried now. Town Councils are now working with the national trust and lottery commission and are planning on handing over all the parks and allotments to charity groups to run. Looks like Newcastle are going to be the test for it http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/04/17/parks-run-charities-plans-backed-national-trust/

    Joyce- that's what we've been producing rosettes for recently - and the 'organisers' of those can't even organise themselves to do it in time, or collect them after we knock ourselves out doing them in the time they aske them for. Says it all really. Piss-up and brewery springs to mind. 

    Reminds me of Ed Byrne's little piece when Cameron jumped ship after saying he'd stay (after Brexit) and sort everything out. Then disappeared after saying he'd still be an MP.   'I'm starting to think these politicians can't be trusted....'

    I'm with Hosta. Bunch of self serving egotists in my opinion. 

    Thank heavens indeed Obelixx. Just as well I've got grass to cut later. If it dries out. Not that pleasant here. Dry, but cold and cloudy. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Joyce , fancy not reading it !image

  • I have a new fork! new fork is a replacement for a really terrible cheap fork which could only cut through naked soil and was really bendy.  Also I bought that £6 wilcos hoe that everyone keeps raving about.
