Hi All- good that the ranch is coming along CTC.

Hope Mum get's a flat sorted Alfie - big thing moving, but she sounds very determined - just like her daughter when she sets her mind to things.

Phoebe - your Ebay sales sound mega - mine are just trickling & not high value items at all. It has been slowish for me. Seems to go in clutches - very sporadic.

My leg is easing a little, but it's been blubbery annoying. We are both hobbling on. OH has a rough guide for op on his hip - they've eventually decided what he needs doing. He's in agony, but trundles on even though it appears that his hip bones are now welded together.

Got the sheep moved up the hill the other day & they knew where they were going - which was lovely. They look magnificent sunning themselves up there - walked up the other day & the views are rather grand. We have a battle ship in the Loch - could hear thumping through out the night, goodness knows what they are doing out there, but you can hear them talking - such is the atmospherics. How weird is that?

Eventually decided on tiles & got those when on offer - half price. Also bought some Laura Ashley paper & material in their sale - would never have paid full price, but I'm still reeling from how much I paid, but better to look at how much I saved - I suppose. Bah Humbug!

Garden is looking wild & rampant - bit like mesel :-)

Good to hear from you, choille :j, even if you and DH still feel a bit cranky. We do too, most mornings, as the winter aches don't seem to have vanished this year like they usually do.

CTC if you can't trailer the frame, take a marker pen and label all the joints in whatever way you'll understand when you come to re-erect. I was so glad I did that with my first greenhouse, and that was just a tiddler.

Still a touch of frost in the mornings but once the sun is up it is lovely and warm.

Don't worry, frost was darned close here yesterday at 06.30.

We need rain...... I'd better say that quietly!:o

Yes.:o I did say we need it, not you!

Everything bursting forth has slowed down.....and I'm having to water my new-seeded grass areas twice a day.

My rhubarb has bolted, my wisteria has hysteria.............

Seriously, my rhubarb shot up & has now got a flower/seed head. Why?

Cos it is happy!!!

I had 4 of those at the weekend, from nowhere the week before. Just cut them out to mencourage the plant to concetrate on growing leaves.

PS Got second prize with my 'barb in the show. Was surprised as I was not that greatr but it is what I want as first prize includes a ruddy great trophy I do not want to house for a year.

Yes,will do - I think this happened last year & it went on & on & on & on. It was grown from seed. The ones I bought from a garden centre are thin & not at all productive - this one is brilliant. I feel a crumble coming on!
