Kitchen Garden Forum

Cold and wet here - more like November than July.

Well the rain has done me some good, I've just painted a bedroom and even managed to scoot to the plot to pick dinner when there was a sunny break

All I need now is another rainy weekend and I can do another bedroom

Things are always red hot in Milton Bryan, even on the dullest of days.

Dear Chantal, you are such a good girl with your household duties.

I know I am OH, but only when the weather's bad the rest of the time the domestic stuff goes to hell in a handcart

Gardening does take a lot of beating i must admit, i don't know what i would do without it.

Morning all, got a busy day today as it's the village fete, lets just hope the weather isn't too bad.

I wonder if i'll win bowling for a pig.

Hi OH,

I hope the weather is nice for the fete. It's always a shame when they're ruined by the weather isn't it. Have they got a "Name the Landgirl" stall this year

A weird twist of fate at the Milton Bryan fete this year.
In the Bowling for a Pig competition the pig unexpectedly comes first and wins Old Herbaceous

Dear Alan, now i was wondering why everyone was giving me extra food, now i know, they have been trying to fatten me up.

Dear Beryl, i don't know if you venture into Bits and Bobs, but if you do i was just wondering if the Badgers had stopped making a nuisance of themselves.

Evenin' all......

Not much happening here....not able to go to the lottie cos of Little Andrew...he can't sit up for long at the mo.....hopefully at the weekend I can get some serious weeding in.

Other than that...not a lot.....weathers crap and some buggers nicked me goosegogs

On the plus side...mother in law has gone back

Dear Lizzie, what was the outcome for little Andrew, not the best of outcomes by the sounds of it.

Hello my wonderfully Troublesome friend

What he has done is classed as a fracture. His hip bone has torn away from the muscles and tendons at the front of the hip.

He's on crutches, and can do no sports for a minimum of 6 weeks. He can't sit up for long at the moment cos it hurts him, and he can't move around much either cos he can't put his foot to the floor, and the gravity on his leg hurts too.

He's on painkillers and rest. The doctors said that, if he does as he's told now, it will heal fine. If not, and he rushes, he will tear the muscles and tendons off again and next time it will take surgery, plus 2 weeks of traction, before he even starts anything else.

He's fed up but the poor soul hasn't moaned once. He's just getting on with it, bless him.

Dear Lizzie, what a horrible thing to have to put up with, especially at the beggining of the summer hols.

He does sound so brave with the pain, i suppose he gets that from his Mum.

All i can do is wish him well and hope he has a speedy recovery.

Yikes, Lizzie, that sounds painful. My smallest brother (6ft and counting) tore his thigh muscle badly in the spring, just having a kick about with the nephew, he went white, then green, well you know the rest...hope little Andrew gets well soon.

I have just finished sewing 2, 7 metre lengths of enviromesh together in my lunch break. That was fun!
