    Our MOT this time was horrendous so I hope yours is ok Dave, we needed to spend just under £600 which was not expected and was crushing :(

    I have just harvested the Aquilegia seeds that I have been meaning to collect for years :D It appeared from nowhere one day and is a gorgeous cotton candy pink so I have enough seeds to get a few plants for next year and some to spare :D There is also a lovely pale lemon one with pink tinges around the edge of the flowers but I didn't manage to get seeds from it :(

    Seeds might come up different colours entirely . Delights of aqualegias....they surprise!

    Oooooh I didn't know that LIR :D

    I used to love My Little Ponies and I had the castle, it was one of my prized possessions. Mine were gifted to another wee girl when I was in my teens and it was a real wrench to let them go :o

    I bet you'd get something for the my little ponies on ebay. People love them. If not charity shop, let some little girl enjoy them for pennies....

    You beat me to it LIR. Give them a 2nd chance & let them go to a new home.

    Maggie that's a while up the loft. I am now ebaying stuff that I haven't used in years & all proceeds goes into the pot.

    Had a funny do with the sheep just now - choking on feed - 3 of them. Had this recently with one ewe, but three - obviously the feed. They seem okay now but quite bad.

    Great news about the cat Alfie Before we had children we used to adopt animals that required an understanding home and now we still have rescue animals although the current ones have been with us a long time and I can't see us adding any more unless we get a dog.

    Was admiring cats beautiful paws when I saw what I presume are wive's hands and thought how does she garden and keep nails like that? Beautiful hands!
