    We'll, I think its lovely. ( really lovely!)

    But its very fashionable and won't always be I'm guessing, so if you plan to sell eventually now might be as a good a time as any?

    Personally I think you've done the right thing Alfie - it's nice (but not my style - I like the more rounded, chunky traditional style rattan.....in fact don't get me started as we're currently having issues with a non-delivery of some we purchased recently :mad:), but not in keeping with your eclectic, homely home, IYSWIM :D

    Hope you get loads for it on the bay ;)

    Dave - I know what you mean about the weather for cave visits....in fact we were planning to go back there today and combine our visit with a woodland walk for the dogs, but it's been blooming cold and blowing a hooley here (one of our supposedly well-fixed new fence panels came down....grrr!) and then the rains came, so I'm jolly pleased we stayed home and did more painting instead!

    Super wee pigglies, CTC:) and I'm with phoebe on the garden furniture, alfie. It reminds me that I have a complete patio set someone gave us to put on the 'bay. Don't think we shall be sitting down much this year! :(

    Aga is just about to conk, I think. The oil disappeared from the tank gauge a week or so ago. I don't suppose we'll get much for it, but I've emailed a couple of refurbishers.....

    Been decorating most of the day, but it's been a difficult one for various reasons. :mad: I'm not a natural decorator. Looks like I'll be back in my office on Tuesday night, though. None too soon.....;)

    Davesnave, if the reburbishets don't want it, you could put it on the bay, but must admit oil ones don't bring much...

    Right catch you tomorrow, just about to back up the ranch ....

    Hope the mice arnt as noisy as last night lil, we have mice in the caravan, and you can hear them in the cavities in the caravan, good job mice etc don't frighten me lol

    Frankly, it's not worth the hassle that might cause, allowing someone unknown/unqualified to disconnect from the water heating circuit etc. :eek:

    It will be removed from that anyway when the plumbers return.

    I'd like to see it re-used. It hasn't given one bit of trouble in 6 winters, but it has gone through about1200 litres since early December! :o

    oh I am so in love with your piggles !! :D your piggles are so happy and healthy, all credit to you two...
    well ive bayed the furniture and already have 7 watchers so we will see... :p


    been dry all day here and if I was out of the wind it was warm..
    sorted out the geese today earlier as goodness knows how, but they wandered out down the track... :eek: and the booggars would NOT go back.[stan must have got into goosegoggins half]
    it was like two backpackers trotting down the lane on a mission.. of course their speed increased as I tried to overtake them to herd them back... but I aint as fit as I used to be and it was a u tube moment with me jogging and 2 geese jogging... twas a time I wished for traffic lights ;).. I managed it eventually but I was kernackered after !! still don't know where they got out but I thought if they can do that "together " they can bluddy well stay together now ....

    Lovely weather, air was so clear I could see the hills at least 6 miles distant.

    Yellow tulips in the pots came out in the sun and border is filling with the other bulbs.

    Pleased to see two foxtail lilies are showing, I was doubtful they'd cope with the wet. The verbena bonariensis are looking like sticks, so they may not be coming back.

    Wow I have spoken.

    Now, if you ever get bored on your northern patch..........lol.

    I was thinking of taking pictures today but I feel a bit ashamed now. Rofl. I'll give it a few weeks till we have more in bloom.

    I don't know if there is a way I can share just one photo bucket album in in a collection? if there is I could make one to share over this season adding to it? Its amazing seeing everyone's pictures. I always feel really messy after looking at some of your gardens though!
