The Garden Fence - proper Old Style support and chat!

Morning all - I had a fight with a tree yesterday. The tree ultimately lost but it went down fighting - and to prove it I have a beeeyoootiful scratch across my face :eek::rotfl: (I have been hedgelaying in Wales), I also have scratches on my hands (despite gloves) and legs (despite trousers!!).. It's dangerous this outdoors stuff...

I have a new computer and was locked out of MSE briefly - but looking at others' posts, I think it was coincidence. Am now back with green screen so all is well...

Just popping to say congrats (very late) to Burtha on the grandchild and also hoping that Monna's move is going ok.


Friends arriving from Germany tonight till Sunday so I have taken today off to get the house looking its best - it'll be the first time they've seen it.


We have a viewing on the old house today and there's another couple who've done two viewings so fingers crossed. The estate agents do the viewings - it's the one thing I couldn't face.

Well, thriftmonster. The sale of my house is now back on track after all the excitement of my buyer's buyer backing out on the day of exchange. Another buyer was found the same day, so although it put back moving day for another 10 weeks we all breathed a sigh of relief.
Monday, I had a phone call to say that the owner of the bungalow that I have been buying since September had decided not to sell after all.

I am certainly not upsetting the rest of the chain so I have to find another bungalow pronto or face finding something to rent come the end of March.

Nothing that happens now will surprise me.

Oh Monna, that is awful. I certainly would go ahead with the sale. Hopefully there is an even better one coming up for you.

Oh Monna - poor you - I also think you're right to go ahead with the sale of yours, buyers don't grow on trees. But how frustrating for you.

Oh monna, what else can go wrong for you?

I think you're right to go ahead with the sale of your house and I truly hope you find your new home soon.

Monnagran...It seems youve been trying to move for ages , its so stressful indeed , im never moving again for sure , I moved in this bungalow 12 years ago and said then thats it never again .......

Burtha..... how are you getting on with the bird feeders ?....WhenI first moved here it was wildlife quiet , but after making my own bird feeding station and adding a wildlife pond its now a hive of activity .......As the weather has been so warm this past week the blue and great tits are checking out all the bird boxes in the garden , its a beautiful time of year when the birds start to nest , well I think so because it makes a home and garden come alive to me.......Nice to hear that you are laying hedges , I hate to see the hedges ripped to shreads with cutters on tractors....

Ivyleaf.....:D yes im ok thank you , and hope you are too .....Ive started to come out of hibernation now the mornings and nights are much lighter.........Icut the grass yesterday , first cut of the season , and cleaned all the blanket weed out of the pond .......

I hope you are all well and you are enjoying this lovely weather , a good week for children on half term...Sheila
