You sound busy Lucielle - great that the kids have lambing jobs. We will be a wee while before we get lambs.

Alfie the chick looks very hairy legged - lovely.

Hope the tooth isn't hurting & you can get a dentist tomorrow.
It's very cold here too Alfie.

We went to get the drainage pipe but we also went to see an old friend & his wife & he isn't very well at all. I came away feeling quite sad as I don't think I'll see him again. I was a bit shocked at how thin & frail he looks.

Been two sunny days with me, so took the chance to work in the garden rather than leave it until Easter.

Daffs in big pots are all in bloom so I moved them around the front of the house (which faces N) to keep them longer. Also serves to 'show off' to my gardening neighbour

Also paid 1st visit of year to my local NT(S) garden, snowdrops in the shade were still looking good. Anyhow, that prompted me to get 100 'in the green' off t'Bay, just singles so under a tenner.

Started filling a 1 tonne Hippo bag, I want to reshape the front lawn and can't be doing with carting wet sods off the recycling centre.

And Dave, can we have some more pics of your beautiful planting...

Yes, but....it's not my planting, Fay, it's Mrs Dave's!

I just grow them.

I really don't know which pics I've posted. Something like this I suppose?



The thing is, it's a fairly new garden and not very mature yet, so the shrubs aren't very large and tend to be swamped by the perennials. We only started it in 2012/13. Ideally, there would be a better balance.

But as I've said before, this garden is due to grow, change and become more of a shelter barrier of shrubs, once we've finished with diggers behind the house. The bulk of the perennials will end up where we can see them better.

I don't know if we'll be able to keep all of this view into the field. Eventually, some of it will go as the evergreen oaks and similar plants on the boundary expand and become trees.

That's lovely Dave.


We've got a dilemma, I can't say too much at the moment but it is life changing. Do I go with the head or the heart?

Always the head....

Unless your head then tells you that the heart might have been right after all!

On first analysis, it's not a question many of us lot are best qualified to answer , when you consider that a high % went out and bought a wreck of a place, only to spend years trying to sort it out. :rotfl:

Being semi-serious though, I'd argue that CTC, lostinrates and myself chose/changed the direction of where we were going for sound 'head' reasons. I'm not sure about Dafty yet, but I know he walked away from something his heart really wanted, when his head said "Oi, Dafty! No!"

BetterDays, when she was here, made her decisions based on what was 'sensible' too, having veered away from where her heart had taken her.

Choille took on more than any of us....:eek:

But, of course, this might not be about something as mundane as property. One of my friends recently had a religious awakening......:cool:

Hmmm, maybe missing out there.... Still waiting my turn to see the light on the road to Witheridge.

and Alfie is prone to do stupid things 99% of the time.... so don't ask her

I went with head too, but mine isn't really a day dream. OH doesn't share my idea of heart so this is a good compromise. Nice house, nicely done, great area, big enough garden to keep me happy/insane/knackered! But watching programmes like ugly house to lovely house makes me want to change the kitchen drastically. Sadly, no relatives to leaveme any money and the only luck I have is bad, so no chance of a wind fall lol.
