What a grey day...
I don't know what everybody else is getting weatherwise but here we have a
'Dartmoor clag' sitting about 8" above our heads and not a breath of wind to blow it away. It's v. depressing and doesn't make any of us feel like gardening. ;-) The only note of real colour is a lovely big trolley full of massed primulas - gorgeous! Two or three days ago we had a brilliantly blue and sunny day and it's frustrating to think it's up there somewhere! -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

Glorious sunny weekend here in N Yorkshire, been busy tidying up in the garden, having a bonfire, servicing the grass cutters, and digging out some of the best compost I have ever made. Mike |

Instead of gardening we've 'enjoyed' ourselves filling a couple of wheeled 'trucks' with stuff from the boiler room which is to be painted tomorrow.

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. |

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. Isn't gardening fun? Well it would be if all the dole scum stealing chavs would just die. 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...... ;-)) -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ (remove weeds from address) |

He closed the gate and left a note on my front door. He's only 10yrs. Bless him. |
