    Horrific. Some one in my very close family was very seriously injured as a child due to arson, also started by children.

    Dave - We have always stacked all the decent-ish stone in one area. .....Never throw a decent stone away. How MSE is that?! :rotfl:

    Oh, we've a 'proper' stone pile too; probably three tonnes, and counting.....:D

    Sorted polytunnel floor and embankment this morning. Starting new path now. Someone has just arranged to drop another 12 tonnes of top soil here.....;)

    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.

    No it's good news for my local community (well some think so :D)

    I'm not allowed to say anything yet.

    Horse Chestnuts aren't a common tree 'round yer,' so I don't think we will be planting one, and especially not until that leaf mining moth has been controlled. That made a right mess of all the chestnuts in Bath.:(

    We dug up the small oak in the yard this afternoon , so that will be going in somewhere tomorrow. Today, we just planted a holly, rescued a year ago from the original hedge clearance. We needed something to site behind a trough which wouldn't shed leaves into it.

    I'm totally knackered. Both DW and I find the dumper a handful, because the seat rocks alarmingly, the steering is weird and we can barely reach the pedals. :o Rushing around with a wheelbarrow, picking up stones and rubbish isn't much fun either. I think we have another couple of dumpy bags, full of plastic and other non burnable detritus. Now it's just a matter of persuading the council chappie we're not trade! :cool:

    All my uneaten parsnips, 3 sackfuls, have gone as an early Easter present to my digger man's sheep. The 'Tender & True' all had carrot fly damage, so this year I'm sowing much later and hoping to avoid that. Sadly, nothing seems to relish overblown leeks! :rotfl:
