    Have a lovely day. very overcast but charming cob will be joining you in factor 50 as he gets a sunburned nose if the sun comes out :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Thanks Watty :) poor little charming cob, sunburn can't be good when you're a horse!

    Visit was great! I only sat down at the bench at the bus stop on the way home :rotfl: They have 3 walled gardens, 2 of which were an absolute riot of colour, and the 3rd was turned over to local schools for experiments, a great idea.


    Popped in to the horticultural society summer show on the way home, I'm still a member apparently - they have some wonderful day trips lined up, going to sort out the dates and money early next week.

    I love a walled garden. Visited a great one on our way home from Rutland last year - very much a work in progress where the buildings were struggling (Victorian greenhouse and an outhouse used for storage) but the gardens were fantastic. Our veg garden is supposed to resemble a microcosm - just hedges here instead of walls and the borders are fruit on one side
