I've just discovered what I can call that part of the garden that
contains the remains of a corrugated iron shed, half a sawbench, an
old roll of roofing felt and what's left of a Hillman Minx ( with a
tree through it ).

It's now a 'Challenging Space'.

Regards,

Not with a Hillman Minx, should be a Morris Minor or Traveller

A true modern gardener would arrange to have it displayed at Chelsea.

But I did like a lot of the things they showed in the program. And I
find Chris Beardshaw gets better and better as a presenter :~)

I too stopped for a while as I could not stand the sight or sound of
AlanT any longer - Both GW and Ground Force became sooooooooo awful in
the end.

BUT the new set up with Chris Beardshaw's progs and Monty Don
presenting Gardeners World has drawn me back to the telly on a Friday
evening. All they need to do now is to get rid of the de Thame person
:~))))

Ahh well, y'see, that's the intrinsic beauty of it - the 'client' can
pick the car of their choice.. in a whole range of colours and
options.

I'm thinking that VW Beetles might be popular on the south coast, BMWs
in central London, and Ford 1600E Cortinas in Essex.

Well frankly, I dont think you missed anything on last nights programme.
Turned the thing off half way through , I was bored!

I had thought GW was getting a little better when the BBC appeared to
"listen" an put Monty Don in as presenter, ( although I had my doubts when
they did it)
but last night just reinforced my previous opinion - moving more towards
the Homefront in the Garden clone type programme, but with a different
presenter.

Or with an early model Land Rover (or Austin Champ) in deepest darkest
Herefordshire. The trouble is, the cost of those items alone would be a major
part of the budget!

Oh a Landy without any doubt, we do have a metro that has been sitting
in the drive for months if anyone wants it!

In my experience that seems to be where these things inevitably turn
up.
I bought a safari hard top that was being used as a rabbit hutch for
my SWB SIII.
