    Well done, Moyra, you finally got a dry enough period in which to cut it. :)

    On Saturday we went down to Rayleigh for the service and it only took 35 minutes :dbgrtmb:

    You take the A130 towards Chelmsford, then A1114 into Chelmsford and along Parkway (A138 dual carriageway past the town centre) and then left onto the A1060 (signposted to Sawbridgeworth - I think). Then we're about 14 miles along that road.

    Do you have a SatNav? I can PM you a postcode and more details if you like.

    I suppose the time it takes depends on how fast you drive and the traffic conditions. It was 27 miles from my house to the church in London Hill.

    Have a good day everyone. :)

    Good morning everyone,

    Moyra, I'll send you some more details. :dbgrtmb:

    The pheasants (not the peasants :heehee:) were complaining this morning that one of the feeders was empty. So, at 6 a.m., I went out to fill it up. It was surprisingly mild at 51F :). After I had filled the feeder I looked up and there was a duck sitting on the roof of the house! The nearest pond is the village pond about a mile away.

    I got a fair amount done in the garden yesterday and we sold a load of Aquilegias. Someone came round and bought three dozen (I think that was the amount but have already forgotten :doh:).

    Lots to do today.

    Have a great day :biggrin:

    Good morning everyone,

    After a warm, sunny, afternoon and evening we have a mild drizzly morning. I got quite a bit done in the garden after I got home at 5.30 p.m. Then I did some cooking ready for today as Mrs Shiney has friends for lunch. I then had my bread and water :heehee: and put my feet up.

    I was going to do the mowing today but that's not possible now :sad:

    Have a great day :biggrin:

    This is the poorly fox :frown: It's a bit sad.

    I am glad to say that the foxes I feed are in good health and do not have mange. That is a poor specimen isn't it Shiney.

    Have a good day everyone. :-)

    Good for you lolli. Amber is mesmerized by birds especially when they refuse to fly away until she is right up close to them. Yesterday morning on our walk a cat had gone up into a tree when she saw Amber coming so Amber now looks up into that tree every time we go past thinking that the cat will still be there. Saw a lovely blue Jay this morning, no shortage of them about.:)

      I have had to move the Sunflower seed feeder nearer the house as a squirrel family have commedeered it and none of the birds get a look in. It's right by my window and I can hear squirrels trying to climb up the wood surround so I can shoo 'em off straight away. I know times are hard for them too but I can't feed the whole lot AND birds too.
      Hope you are having a good day. It has stopped raining.:yes: Its drying up :dancy: and Ive got 5 Salvias to pot up. Wheeee!!! :yay:
