Anyone need any water just give us a shout.

Hopefully get some joiners round this Saturday as it's looking an alright day weather-wise. Spent a bit of time yesterday moving a pile of wood that is in the way of a fork-lift that'll be lifting our beams up tonight. Farmer down the road gonna come up. Feel really humbled as he's so busy lambing but he's been so kind to offer to drive up & muck about getting the beams upstairs. OH had to go away down to get yet more glue.


Must attempt to make a bit of room & tidy up any stuff kicking about outside that'll be in the way tomorrow.

How did it go choille?

And any water you want to give away will be gratefully received down here.

Maggie what gorgeous pictures! I have finally got my new camera and I will eventually get around to taking pics of my garden. I echo what others have said Alfie you really need to get any suspicious bites checked as the alternatives are grim!

Just made dinner using some herbs from the garden and some fresh salad leaves that I grew from seed too. It is lovely enjoying food from the garden.

One wee question though, we finally made compost this year and we have planted our courgettes in tubs with the fresh compost and they seem to be dying what could the problem be?

sometimes the leaves die from the transplant but persevere as new shoots/leaves could well appear.

Oh well, Monday night ebay turned out a damp squib despite loads of watchers.

Seems to be a pattern emerging of collectables doing so-so but "essentials" such as summer entertaining stuff and childrens play, doing well.

Now if only I had another half dozen Little Tikes cottages!

lol, particular brand of saddle (even better if its the right, more rare colour and with a doe skin seat):o:o

But I do a LOT of wish list window shopping on ebay and reclamation yard sites. I saw a HUGE pot the other week perfect for a decorative garden ornament....sigh! Never mind....I've got DH to watch, who needs other pretty things, eh?:D

I'm hopefully ging to pick up the other item tomorrow, no hiccups arising....so you won't have to wait for long!;)
