Aloha everyone,

We've, during the last week, had people turning up to look at the garden (open invitation to anyone) to see the Spring colour and the hundreds (maybe thousands ) of cowslips, primulas and primroses.

Yesterday a couple from the village who live in a tiny (almost toytown size) cottage popped in to see it. Their cottage is no bigger than our summerhouse, 400 years old (daub and wattle) and beautifully decorated, Their garden is about 12ft x 30ft and they have an aviary and a duck house. At one time they had up to 140 birds in the aviary (they bred, and cross bred, them). The have two male ducks that have been with them for 10 years and have the run of the garden during the day and their house is heated at night. The ducks won't settle down for the night until they've been told a bedtime story!

They came in the afternoon, spent three hours wandering the garden and then stayed for dinner (I've always got plenty of food handy ). We've only ever just chatted to them when we've passed their cottage so it was an interesting afternoon and evening.

We're preparing some ground ready to be paved to hold more trays of plants that Mrs Shiney is making. I guess we will make it about 7ft x 14ft but may make it more. The slabs are coming from a house a couple of miles away - advertised on the local internet site - to be taken by whoever wants them. 72 slabs 2ft x 2ft. We'll take all and then decide where we shall put the ones left over.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone, another beautiful morning here if a little cool in the breeze.! You go steady there Woo and have a good day everyone.

​

 

I'll just supervise

 

@Zigs I've got a very good 'get rich quick' scheme if you want to invest

 

Good morning all my friends have a good day

 

Aloha everyone,

We got an email last night saying that Mrs Shiney's new car is arriving and we're trying to arrange for delivery on Monday . So we're taking her old car in for an MOT this morning as the purchaser will only buy it if it passes - but he will pay for the MOT.

If Michael turns up this morning I'll get him to pick up the first 36 of the paving slabs that we'll (he'll) be laying in the garden.

It will be a busy day with all the other things I have to do.

Keep well and have a great day

Aloha!

 

Good morning everyone have just returned from Wickes 24 paving slabs and 12 brindle blocks and mortar,have now got to get Mrs Woos the car valeted as promised and then take Penny for her 2nd walk of the day,and then its laying the slabs and brindle blocks,that's the morning taken care of now for the afternoon

 

Michael has been bringing the paving slabs here. He has borrowed a van as his has a puncture. They're very heavy and I've decided that we only want 32 of them. They're granite slabs that are 2" thick and 2ft x 2ft. Even Michael, who is big and strong, is tiring.

 

@CanadianLori What's the book?
