The last few days have been nice and bright, damn chilly at times though especially during the mornings. The chill wind seemed to lessen during the afternoons so it gave me the chance to get up the plot.

Project was somethng for the peas to climb up, beans can climb bamboo canes as usual.
Why make something for the peas when cheap netting is available ??

In this world there is a huge family who through generations have taught their offspring, cousins, nephews and nieces the skill of rolling up pea netting in such a way that it takes hours of frustration to try and unravel it when purchased.
Once unravelled you will never replicate their skill at rolling it up small and gettting it back in the box.
The family must be huge as they seem to dominate the market, I think most of our UK netting suppliers use them.

This same family ensure year round employment by using the same method on Christmas tree lights, you wont get them rolled up as small and back in the box either.

The danger when people start to believe their own publicity is that they often fall off their own ego.

At least travelling under the guise of the Pa Snip Enterprise gives me an excuse for appearing to be on another planet

And the same people who make gazebos which never slide back into their tight fitting protective covering bags once they've been dismantled !

Ahh, that's a different family Primrose
Come from the same town and went to the same school as the pea net packers though
