Tends to be the little things that pee me off. Today’s is wipes, those disinfectant wipe packets that a lot of us have become attached to the last...
It’s the frequency of them I suppose. Can’t recall a run of Arwen through to Eunice of such severity in such a relatively short space of time. You...
I’m no expert on Magnolias, but it’s so well established, you’d think it’s not one of the evergreen variants that are becoming increasingly...
I feel for you guys living through the storm and it’s impact. Seems nowhere in the UK is insulated from the extremes of the weather these days,...
Good luck with those in the path of Eunice. Looks a bad ‘un.
Have to agree with you on that, Pete. Indoors then out, cuts out the immediate weather change that dampens spirits and anything not undercover....
Strangely quiet, barely a whisper of a breeze. The stipa in the garden cowed, and sodden from the overnight rain. The birds absent, probably in...
Magnolias round these parts tend to have a survival rate of a mouse on Mars. Had one well established at the back of the garden, but the more it...

I’d assume from that Tomcat, that juice from the Spanish bluebell was used to make glue that didn’t stick to anything. Making it as effective a...
It’s that threshold day Upsy, the day when the house becomes an extension of the garden for a couple of months….and try to block off impending...
Way behind on everything with life stuff handling in the past few weeks, and the morning feed of the robin and blackbird just now, only serves to...
That’s great you’ve got the Puya up and running, Perki. It does sound a vicious individual and worthy of an Attenborough film crew seeing what it...
Completely out of time and probably wishing it hadn’t popped outside to have a look is this one on the rose of Sharon. The nearby mahonia is...
[ATTACH]Finally took in the 22 Chilterns catalogue from the small pile of left-for-a-whiles at the front door, and did the usual page-by-page...
That’s an interesting take on the compacting approach, Lori. Probably has a clear advantage of seeing clearly how moist the soil is, which is...
