I feel really sorry for you Weed. Is it possible for you to fence your lottie all the way round. I have noticed that a lot of allotments are open plan. We have fencing all round our lottie but it was expensive. But we dont have any problem with rabbits anymore. I dont know if some allotments dont al...

Cider Boys I know that the best way is to be diplomatic and try and explain to them that we really value our privacy, which we have had for 20 years. But they are not the sort to really understand what we are getting at and will probably take the huff and go one of two ways. 1. No speakies 2. Loud t...

Hi Lizzie Your suggestion really made us laugh. My husband, who has not long to live, :evil: suggested that if I did that they would probably both die of a heart attack. A bit over the top me thinks. :wink: If I drink enough one night I might just do it....

Unfortunatley this one is too large. It is about three feet high. I will get my OH to take a picture of it so you can see what I mean. Its rained tonight so at least they wont be sitting out tonight. But once it stops we will. hee hee

Primrose I dont think that she would want it back and I dont know why she bought it in the first place but because I am very sentimental I cant throw it away, daft I know. God knows what the kids will think when we have gone and have to sort out the loft. OH Thank you it made me laugh, our other sid...

Thank you for all your suggestion. Unfortunately we cannot raise the height of the fence for several reasons. We have got a little sitting area by the back door which we have tried to make as private as possible so like you Primrose we can sit and enjoy a quiet meal and listen to the waterfall in ou...

Cabbages - again

I have just gone through my polytunnel to get my cabbages out to harden up. I think that I must not have been counting my cabbage seedling because my larger plants now add up to 86... Dont know how I managed that. Various ones, April, Primo and several I cant remember. Oh well I will have to plant t...

Thank you OH. Our neighbours are not bothered about their privacy. As they can look into their next door neighbours garden and chat whenever they want to. We dont like that. We will chat to anyone and its not that we are anti social but in our back garden we like to be private which in 20 years it h...

Very nosy neighbours what can I do?

Our neighbours have just had their garden made into one huge patio and consequently they have raised their garden level. Now they can walk down their path at the side of the garden and look straight down into our garden. They are higher than us but it has never been a problem before. My OH has got v...

Really glad you managed to get some. Dont suppose there are any instructions on the packet. Otherwise you could always google a question. We had to stop putting a bird table out because we got two very fat pidgeons landing and nothing else would come to it. Now we just have big bird feeders.

My OH wants to clear out the loft and up there is an african wooden mask my sister gave me for my birthday in 1978 when I was on holiday with her in Zambia. Its not very nice but for sentimental reasons I wont part with it. Now we are discussing what to do with it. Should it go or should it stay? I ...
