    Oh look sky:p:rotfl::T

    And the best bit is Numpty.it means your weeds are now growing beautifully :T:T

    I don;t know if I mentioned that I made this beautiful raised bed and filled it with soil and planted up Numpty's germinating seedlings a few weekends ago. The idea was to be able to move it round following the sun each day.... so I put it on heavy duty castors. Unfortunately that's when the cunning plan fell apart.....:o..once the soil had been added, it was so heavy it sunk into the tarmac where it was and couldn't be moved. :mad:. So the lads moved it onto the front drive while they were working...(took all three of them :drool::drool::drool:)..and when they tried to move it back, the wheels fell of..:eek:..so it's still out the front but luckily getting sun all afternoon :cool::cool:

    :beer: Wow! I've only ever seen stuff like that on TV, it must have been amazing in the flesh! Lots of flesh, of course :D:D:D

    I had an elder that was growing through a bulky conifer midway up my garden - it fell across the path, so I had to cut it way back, so I can finally start back on creating my shady seating area midway up the back garden. I was doing the branches first, and have finally cut the central trunk today, without it whiplashing and decapitating me or something. :cool:

    Before and after would be good! Process is awfully interesting too!:T

    Wow KC...well done you on the slash and burn activity in your garden today.......and to escape without incident :T:T. I normally end up with at least two or three gouges across my arms and legs when I tackle my triffids :o


    Here is the wasteland-soon-to-be-district-council-planning-permitting-new-garage/patio-and-shed section (note the broken fencing - this is all being replaced in two weeks time as they quoted a fair price today and i have accepted). Directly beyond the fencing is a public footpath which is well used so atm i am a bit nekkid to the world and a tad insecure.......

    Before

    and after

    Yes Numpty.......even more sky :T:cool:...and all the weeds have gone (Wol cleared the whole area before the tree surgeons arrived as she felt so embarassed..:o)

    Phwoarr..thanks for the lumberjack piccies Wol..a little song has sprung into my head "I'm a lumberjack and I don't care, I sleep all day..." I can remember the palaver that they went through to chop down the 200 yr old Poplar trees near me..they were swinging around like monkeys:D

    I put some fake tan on today (only on my legs) as I need to wear a posh skirt when I go out tomorrow..am angling for a contract with a sound engineer (not weddings either), then I shall have lunch using my free LVs (oh how I live the high life) and then I meet the printers as they are going to design and host my website and more importantly I will be able to tinker with it myself:j

    Is your bridge wooden or is it made of something more substantial? It looks very rustic.

    Best go to bed now..am falling asleep and I need my nighty night coffee before bedtime:D

    Unfortunately it would probably have to be a double session...bit hard to handle, needs a lot of grinding... :whistle::whistle::whistle:
