    Latest moan from you and me 2026

    I wouldn't go with British Gas if they were the only supplier... Those charlatans robbed me of just over £400 about 25 years ago and I've never forgiven them for it.

    What are we doing in the garden 2026

    Made it to the Allotments but only to pick sprouts, dig parsnips, and get a bit of salad from the greenhouse. Too wet for much else.

    A Christmas present from my dearest Brother, delivered in a ziplock bag without the picture as the family tradition goes. I might not speak to him for a while. :biggrin:
