Something tells me you don't garden in the north :-)

The very thought makes feel quite queasy. In the event that I was
dragooned into living north of the M4 I would take up a more suitable
pastime, such as interior decorating or lion taming (under canvas).

It so happens that I live north of the M4 (east end of Swansea Bay)
whilst Dave H lives south of the M4 (west end of Swansea Bay). This is
despite, if you hold a map properly, the fact that he is more
northerly than I.

You have my deepest sympathy.

But the weather north of the M4 here is usually
better than that south of the M4 at the other end.

Lion taming is, however, for wimps.

I am afraid that I was a bit confused when I entered 'lion taming', I
really meant collecting stamps - I do not do bravery.

In Wales we tame dragons (when we
have a few minutes to spare). In England, I believe, they call dragons
"wives" and are afraid to ask them to hold a bin bag whilst it is
filled with leaves.

Ah ah, last weekend SWMBO picked all the leaves up and filled the big
container thing when I had used the blower to persuade them into piles
(and she dragged the container thing the length of the garden to the
dumping area several times). Which just proves that dragons can be
perfectly amenable if treated properly.
