@Obelix-Vendée, have you tried piriton hay fever tablets? I was stung at least ten times on the legs, very uncomfortable despite immediately...
We’ve been out for breakfast, and then a walk in as much shade as we could find. It felt a bit extravagant at first, both in time and money, to go...
Thanks, I’ll do that. Not sure where I’m going to plant them yet. Would be nice to have them not too far from the house, so I can pop out and...
I bought a pot of basil in the supermarket last week, but haven’t eaten any and it wont keep much longer. Didn’t even occur to me to make some...
An odd couple off days, in which I had plans to get several gardening jobs tackled, and instead spent the rainy morning in Ikea, and the dry and...
Finally bought two Rosa rugosa plants in the garden section at the Donkey sanctuary. Not the variety I really want ( with tight double flowers)...
Hi all. Haven’t been posting on this thread for a while, rather saddened by the departure of some of the regulars. However, I’ve been reading...
Not long back from a walk with son’s dog, plus a raid on the supermarket for the weekend. We take the dog to the Donkey Sanctuary as it is a dogs...

This has sprung up all over one of the paths in our woodland area. Looks like it will be easy to pull up. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
OH felt very similar after his first cataract op, @floralies, very weird for the few weeks before the second one. He did try taking one of the...
OH decided not to watch the football, especially as it looked like we weren’t doing very well. However when he glanced in at the end and saw the...
Reading back through the reports of aches and pains, it has occurred to me that my hip has not been giving me any trouble for many weeks. I was...
We’ve never had a problem with our green bin not being emptied. We shred most of our prunings, so the bin can get pretty heavy, and we also use a...
Our green bins are both half full, with a week and a half to go, after our efforts at trimming the hedges. I have also been digging out some ugly...
What a beautiful garden, @RowlandsCastle! It looks glorious!
Stopped for a drink in the shade. OH has mowed the moss in the back garden, and I have attacked the chaos on the bank above it. Lots of ferns and...
