Things are happening-things are quiet
Summer is nearly here, things are happening in the garden. How come a
motorcyclist's n.g. posts twice as many times as U.R.G? |

Oh how I would love to be able to take off on a long motorbike ride, but I've a few things desperate to be done...got some planters and baskets to do which will create space in the greenhouse (beding plants everywhere!) for the rest of my tomatoes and chillis which are getting flowers on them but are still in smallish pots, the GH needs a good digging and weeding before I plant them though and the ones I planted last week in a different GH now need some sort of cane / string / whatever type of support system setting up. The sprouts need weeding as do the onions, the lawn needs cutting and I've to prune some shrubs, I need to raise a bed surrounding a Yucca as it is turning into a triffid. Two gates need repairing / re-hanging and the front and back fences are falling apart, the kids back-to-back have smashed a pane of glass in the GH. The patio has disappeared under 3ft of horsetail ferns. I have a honeysuckle which grew up an 8ft trellis a few years ago, this fell down with the weight of itself and now resembles a small n, but the growing tips are now reaching for the sun again and I have visions of it looking like a twenty-yard chinese dragon if this continues. My unknown plants have a sap sucking alien living on them, possibly scale insects or mealybugs and I've got aphids in every colour of the rainbow living in my greenhouse, so my guess is that everyone else has similar things to do and are out in the garden! -- If God had intended us to drink beer, He would have given us stomachs. |

Not quite the way I would have put it but true nonetheless. regards Bob. |

Wish I still had it :-(( Steve No :-(( "HAD" in 1956/7 All I have now is a nice glossy picture of one on the front page of Classic Bike of May 1983 and the details inside of the restoration and another magnificent picture. I found one for sale a few months back at £3000.00. Tempted ;-) They do come up for sale from time to time. Just 'might' yet ;-)) Mike |

Of course. Keep the Roller outside. Son in Law has the Roller and it 'is' outside because there is a Robin nesting in the garage and he is fed up with the Bird crap on the car :-( I am BMW. No it is NOT staying outside Mike |
