 jtay It was here for a little bit. Back to grey ...

[jtay]

 *Stormforce~beka* Great work on the buddleia though. And the daffs look good.

Yep, back to rain and cloud now.

Was hoping to take my new set of wheels for a spin this evening, but looks like the approaching rain will scupper it.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay Buddleia is my neighbours the boundary is along there. The daffys are mine though

surreal...last day fishing...mind wandering..peaceful...suddenly  a lone female head wearing a pink bobble hat drifted past...had I lost the plot...no other female heads followed...How's the fishing today they called as they floated past.Thank god it was the wild swimmers club but I still need some beers tonight to calm my nerves

[jtay]

@jy I had switched from the Hyundai to your Cobra, as the similar Cobra was 30 quid cheaper, but last minute, Robert Dyas reduced their price by £35, so went with the Hyundai. Plus it was in stock.

It's 21", self propelled c/w a rear roller. Will hopefully be able to fire it up tomorrow.

Thanks for all the advice. Much appreciated.

 jtay can always run plant purchases by me years of making contacts.Got bareroot Portuguese Laurel best priced between 80 and 120 for 53 quid new contact very impressed

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jy Pahahaha 

[jtay]

 jy Ah right. Nice one. Ta.

These were £3.09ea for 20-30cm English Yew. Not going to complain at that price, compared to garden centres.

[jy]

 jtay  jtay no problem it might come in useful in the future that's all

[jtay]

Another day... more showers.

Just coming up to south west London on the train and the sun poking through in places. Much brighter up here! 

[Andy Bown]

 Alderc 2.0 I just had to wear sunglasses while hanging towels on the line. Oh the joy !

A high of 13.2c at 10 53am. Now 11.6c and raining. 

[jtay]

Here's the rain again.

15 holes dug, 17 to go, but the radar suggests it's setting in for a while.

See, be careful on what you wish for! I hope your dandelions are dying rapidly now.

 *Stormforce~beka* Are you recovering from your mud bash?

[jtay]

 Dorsetbred Looks like it's clearing out the back, so heading back out. 

The yews have been shipped already and arrive in half an hour apparently.

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 Dorsetbred You'll never believe it ... Almost happened again this morning! I was walking to school with Sophie stepped up onto the grass verge to walk across it and slip - I left a long slip mark but she grabbed me and some how I didn't go down this time! I now hate mud. More than I already did ... Still in pain in my arms but improved. Thank you sweet x

 jtay April innit!

[*Stormforce~beka*]

 jtay Rain coat and trousers on and get to it man!

 jtay This for your garden?
