Both my grapevine and raspberries are thriving despite the apparent neglect they are currently going through - the grapevine gets a watering can full once a week and the raspberries probably about the same and i have never had a such a bumper crop! My grapevine has gone crazy I need to give it a good haircut in the next couple of days

Just hope the grapes are ready before i leave the site at the end of September

Rather difficult to water my raspberries, if I started it would take a lot of water, figured I would leave them and see if they could cope. They may be very small but they are very tasty

I was going to give my grape vine a hair cut, until I saw some goldfinches playing in it, it was almost as if it was a theme park:rotfl::rotfl: The more I look the more I see small birds clinging onto the branches and appearing to thoroughly enjoy themselves. I don't have the heart to cut it back now :eek:

swapped from late wine grapes (sauvignon) to early eaters (venus), got a lovely crop last year and that was the first year (yes I know you are meant to take them off for the first two years, but I like grapes too much). Looks like several bunches this year too.

Mine is a wine grape but i want an eating grape so i'll be getting a new one or two in the next few months, once i have the ground prepared

We've been picking blackberries for the chickens for a few weeks and yes, they are definitely early

Dentists are so expensive. I know that they have undertaken a massive amount of training and have to afford to run their practices, but still!

A filling decided to make an escape for freedom and now I need a crown.

Good morning all!


Thank you Izzey for the Lurpak :-). It's very tempting but I don't think I'll go to A's for it. Last week my local Co-op was selling off 500ml pots of double cream for 23p so I made lots of butter which I cut into chunks and put in the freezer. So that should keep me going for a while!


I tried to put a collar on our cat a few years ago because he was catching lots of mice and I felt sorry for them. However he was so scared of the bell on the collar that he would just creep around on his belly trying to stop it from ringing. He looked so petrified I gave up and took it off again. He's older and lazier now so he doesn't catch mice any more.
