Default seemed a good idea at the time

Earlier this year we were all discussing figs and I mention we had a plan
to build a wall in our fruit cage, the plan being to have some fruit
trees (including another fig) and some tender climbers, said quickly this
seemed a great idea.
Yesterday the concrete blocks arrived at the road side (which is the
nearest the lorry can get) and were carried by Liz and I onto the propety
up 14' of steps and across the back to the fruit cage - all 504 of them.
Last night was definately a two glass of wine night!

Well done you - what a nightmare! Just reward yourselves with the thought
of all those lovely juicy figs. ;-) Have you got/do you want a Brunswick?


Hope to be in touch about one during next year (still haven't actually
built the wall yet!


We've got a few babies so I'll put your name on one. I think we're going to
do the Cornwall Show next year (we've been invited to anyway) so I want to
make a sort of corral for plants 'Not For Sale'. I'll pop it in there!



That would be great, and if we haven't seen you by then we get to meet up
as well :~)
