Daydream thread... without the rose-tinted specs

Will have to phone up the other one's owner that we had lined up to buy - It was white & had bits missing.........

Had someone lamping down my field where the female lambs & ewes are. This was about 10.30pm & the weather was truly foul but we went out in the car chasing them....& it was the gamekeeper! Foxes he reckoned he was after, but all seemed a bit odd as it was on my ground so I gave him a bit of earache.

It's stayed dry here this a.m. Calm too, though that won't last.
Across the valley, the farmer who was recently fined £6k is busy burning something pretty smoky :eek: and the plumes are going straight up!

As it was still so pleasant outside this a.m, I decided to do a bit of tree work in the willow grove, so I started cutting some of those leaning a bit too far. I also began tidying up the dogwoods, which have only ever been pruned by sheep! I've already made so much brash, I'll be having a burn up myself before long.

Took a walk up to Mr Dog's place and felled a buddleia that will be in the way when we do the fencing there. It's never ever been tidied, but it'll bounce back with a vengeance now.

While I was there, I took a look over the hedge above the stream and got a shock. Mr Dog's son, while tidying-up the hedge bases with his digger last weekend, had obviously been instructed to clear the ditches too. So, he'd cleared the stream bank up there and widened the channel.:j This has opened it up for me to finish off the hedge tidying in the winter and made that job much easier on the last 50m or so.

Must get back to work.....BUT I've just I.D'd a plant I grew from seed some years ago. It was from one of those shrub mixes that Chiltern Seeds do.

I'm pleased. It's a Disanthus cercidifolius, it has an AGM and it's blooming expensive!:D

hi all

im having probs wth my home fone/internet so im not upside down in a ditch if i disapear i kid myself you would notice...:D:rotfl::rotfl:

LIR... re your holly hedge out front ...or lack of it..:o is a 12ft length of box hedging any good ? its aprox 2ft high, 18" across. [could be more spaced but not much more as makes a nice tight clip]
im gonna have to move it before mr pratt kills it [if/when he turns up] i think as the ground is a swimming pool i should be able to shift it with minimal damage. it is clipped square. i did leave message on yr landline incase my tinternet was a no go
i can dig and shift in 48 hrs if any good. IF so you need to dig a trench ready...... just a thought

That is the smell!!! I was at a local gardens and could smell that and I thought it was the flowers but it must have been the box!
