It has been a lovely day here in Staffordshire. Peeps tend to forget that
the West Country is one of the wettest areas of England, bless it.

It's been a grey day in Bristol.
No wind and a bit cold.

It's come to light some one has been trying to get into my shed via the roof
so now I have to fix that this week.

Isn't gardening fun? Well it would be if all the dole scum stealing chavs
would just die.

Thank God for good neighbours who keep an eye on things for you. :-))

It was my next door neighbours son who actually alerted me to my side gate
being open, and banging in the wind.
He closed the gate and left a note on my front door.
He's only 10yrs.
Bless him.

Like I said, thank God for good neighbours.

BUT, neighbours are only as good as you are to them :-))

That's bad luck and a horrible thing to discover, too. Having been burgled
a couple of times, I know how intrusive it is into your private life and how
angry it can make you, too. The only good thing about it is that you've
found out before they got in.

Could just as well be school children simply 'having fun' because they're
'bored'? I wasn't allowed to utter the word 'bored' when I was a teenager!
Not sure it had been invented then, either...... ;-))

There have been a couple of sheds broken into in the area and the police
have been doing a door to door patrol.
If they were made to work they wouldn't have time to break in to sheds ;O)

They are on half term this week in my area.
We've had sheds being broken into over the last few weeks.
They've been at mine during the day time.

Looking on the bright side I've actually got a Margaret Merril rose in
flower.
Going to have a sniff of it now. ;O)

It's half term here this week but our local school is a primary and the
adolescent hormones haven't kicked in yet. I'm touching wood as I write
this!

Little lift of the spirits!

Old Tony yesterday told me quite a good idea - he has never had his
shed broken into. He told me that's because he puts his buckets of
salty slugs/snails by the door, comfrey mix and fag mix as well. The
stench is so formidable, kids run from it. I usually manage to clear
it all by november and sometimes mine don't smell until you move them
about - but am going to try it and see (and perhaps hang the bones
which I find when digging on the doors of my sheds, with feathers etc.
- hoping that would be scary?! (Though my kids would be curious and
would like to see inside ... and I would have been too as a kid ;o)

Good idea.
But my shed has a fire door with a 5 lever insurance approved lock.
It's not the door that's at risk it's the roof. Which they have been having
a go at on a daily basis.
