    So.....the geese have been down to the pond both days this weekend. Last night we bribed them back in at night with a hot cross bun...i know its bad, but not as bad as leaving them out for the fox.

    Tonight they were not having any of that. We dithered and i said we would have to risk them. Next thing dh is naked and jumping in the pond. The geese were horrified and half flew back into the yard. I won't let the, in tomorrow. Dh is in the bath now.

    :rotfl::T:rotfl: i want to know what you used to tempt DH out of the pond !!??:D

    If anyone comes up with a machine that successfully allows one person to mow, strim, weed, plant, prune, clear bramble, gorse, dock, ragwort, bracken plus fix fences, clear ponds, treat woodwork (including all the windows & doors) ...... please count me as your first customer :D
