    I must take a pic of the good part of the garden. I have a veg garden. At the back/ side of the property. Im in the process of hiding it completely from view with a bit of an enchanted garden.....well that how I like to think of it:) I have windy paths, a hidden seating area and some lovely plants. Still a work in progress....:)

    Yes, more pics def. needed. I love gardens!

    I have a cast iron chiminea thing, which is great fun, men love a good burning. I need to find a nice log stove for the man-shed now. My logs are going to get used up far too quickly if I am using them in the summer as well as winter!!

    My cast iron chimnea hasn't had a decent burn in the last couple of summers. I keep the best wood for burning on the fire in the house but keep a store of off cuts/ old fencing posts etc for the chimnea I never throw wood away and even take the neigbours bits of wood if I see them getting rid:rotfl::rotfl:

    If you are through my way any time, and have a trailer/van, I can direct you to a roofing place that sells dump bags of off-cuts for £7. Well worth it Artha! Some bits are far too big for my stove and need cutting down.
