Quite exciting though. |

Yes, people argue about which is most stressful of divorce, removal or bereavment - I'd rather be dead than move again! The wife might have other views on which is worst/best ..... |

Well done, hope it continues well .... don't worry too much about the garden at the moment, I'm sure you'll find something else to occupy you! Quote:

Hi Susie,
Glad you're ok! Less is more, as I have discovered with this garden, which I would have destroyed if I'd had the energy when we first got here! There were lots of things I'd have got rid of, like lots of the yew trees, lots of the cotoneaster, unknown and unlovely shrubs, which, now they've shed their leaves, are providing shelter for many birdfeeders hidden right inside the ball of branches, self-seeded buddlias, just because there are 'too many' of some of these, but now I see the bird population increasing, and the profusion of berries being enjoyed, I'm so glad I held back. Have alovely relaxing Christmas.

Happy Christmas to all members and guests.
Spare a thought for those on their own now the milkman is an endangered species and the postman speaks only Polish
Do not neglect your feeders and drinking water for your garden visitors
Have a checklist for the Christmas Dinner,so nothing gets left in the back of an overcrowded oven
Keep your reciepts
Keep your temper and smile alot (alchohol is useful here)
Have a lovely time whatever your faith
HAPPY CHRISTMAS

"They said there'll be snow at Christmas.
They said there'd be peace on Earth."
&c
Who sang that song? |
