If it's Scottish one of our number from north of the border may recognise something in the pattern relating to a distillery.

It looks like a celebration or limited edition bottle of some sort.
Chivas Regal have done similar things but they're usually in blue & I can't recall them having a handle either.

Some would fit in the trailer, perhaps the heap from the garden? The scrap yard is in the next town up...not far....

But for goodness sake, don't come up here in a horse box .....i would refuse to risk putting metal carp in it! i have visions of you borrowing your freinds super smart box to fill with my barbed wire:rotfl::rotfl:


I wonder if stitching witch still reads? I wanted to know if the second hand and vintagy stye furniture shop on the one way system round the back of the market square is still there......



I have good news, dh is going to be on a better working schedule in london fr a year. He might even get every friday afternoon off, plus some flexitime. We are really excited. I have been thinkipng of jobs i can do myself and think buying some paint for the silage clamp and barn walls is imminant, as soon as spring hits i wanna be painting.

It will soon be time to clear the backlogue of poop from the winter grazing......that is hours and hours of work...its just been too wet and mild to get the barrows out there, so have a huge build up.

I am hoping to buy some ask saplings next week, and maybe some hazels for hedge infilling too.

What are ask saplings? - sometimes I find your accent difficult LIR.
If it's Mountain ash/Rowan I can send you some. Can you not do hazel slips - like willow?

Alfie - you bad, bad girl. You really mustn't do stuff like that:o you make me feel so guilty. I can't bid on anything of yours ever again.
The figures are the bestest ever - I'm thrilled with them & they are packed away for when the house is ready. I truly love them & the wee sign post is ace too as for the Thistle container - I cried I was so overwhelmed. You are far too kind. That is for my bestest tea. I love really good tea & that is for that now. Wow!

Had me bafff for the docs tomorrow - 28 mile round trip. Feels reeel good! Can't wait to get a baff for the house!

I have rooted Buddlieha cuttings ready to plant if anyone wants any - can't remember which ones! Think it's the massive purple lilac type - any road they attract butterflies & bees.

Morning all.
Dark, a bit chilly & hammering down hail as I type
I'm waiting for it to stop to venture outside. Looking out of the window this morning I noticed a little speck of crimson red "floating" above one of the flower beds. I'm fascinated. The only thing that's red in that bed are ...... roses :eek: It can't be a rosebud, surely? :rotfl:

Could be....i have one. That said, its been in bud for a few weeks now. Also, some other roses have put on new buds, its cold this morning though, it might put them off again.

I know we've had some daft things this winter - for example, primroses in November - but this is ridiculous.
Our roses are usually in bud May/June. They often continue flowering until very late in the year. It's quite normal to see frost or even snow on the flowers but to come into bud in January? :eek: They're going to get clobbered, of course..... they say there may be snow on the hills today.
If everything is out too early & gets nobbled by the cold I think the normal season will be a bit depleted flower-wise
Still ..... saves on the dead-heading, I guess :rotfl:

Our roses weren't that great last summer....dry, wind, cold, late move....some didn't even bother trying. I would have liked a decent year this year.


We had hail today. The guy didn't come to cut my hedges this morning, so he will come now the ground is all nice and wet i guess, tomorrow morning.
