A shop like 'Maddens' is worth its weight in gold! For my needs we have a small country town high street 1 mile away. The shops combine to provide just about everything I have needed in the last 4 years (except clothes & IT/Comms equipment, I get those via Internet/mail order). I even managed to...

I assume others are having or have had, the same pleasure....

I ventured out to my postbox just now, in the dark, cold & wind!
Got a nice suprise though (I was not expecting anything in particular), the Feb KG Magazine had arrived with free seeds too!!! That sorts out my reading for the evening.

I like the idea of breeding fish primrose. What about mushroom production! No problems with needing the light, just generate the other needs.

How deep is it?

Good morning...Thankyou for your get well wishes. Much appreciated, I'm most definitely on the mend now.
My Lemon tree looks perky this morning! We were due 'feels like -5 C' last night, I don't think it happened, no frost here.

Its so much more exciting when the snow comes at Christmas! Get out there and make angels in it Goldilox.

Greetings Goldilocks! Nothing like getting snowed in in front of the woodburner (any chance? How much snow due?).

Unfortunately I got Bronchitis for Christmas! Started Monday evening, diagnosed on Christmas day. On Antibiotics now so cannot even sample the red! I have not managed to do anything in the garden, have only been firing on one cylinder. I have really enjoyed reading all your cheery comments the last ...

So Monty does have the fiesty JR gene then. We had a springer that would kill rats and leap off an 18ft drop into a fast flowing river from the end of the quay! (Sadly she's gone now, but she had a brilliant life). Dogs can be great fun can't they. I just wanted to announce I have put the first batc...

Best of luck Mike, with your health and with the walk.

Catherine, I read one just last Friday from Parsons Jack about Long tailed tits. I love the picture of the little dog! He's a cutie!! I wonder if he has the tough nature of a JR?

Very classy decoration! Nice.

Chantal. I did click back (as usual) but it did not do it. Good to see it works for you though. May have to wait longer

I think kids would love that!
