      I never find mine. I cannot understand it, they just vanish :dunno:. A few years ago I noticed my underwear and socks disappearing off the clothes airer. It kept happening and then one morning I saw one of the Rats dragging a pair of knickers away. He'd made a nice bed for himself under the sofa with his stolen goods :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

            I bought a cheap version of these from Lidyl or Aldi a couple of years back, less than £10. Not up to much. You get what you pay for, I should have known better.

                Today I bought my salix flamingo tree. I couldn't get the compost so it will have to wait another day or two to go to its new home. I'll wait until it's complete before I take a picture of it. It should be in full bloom by then too.

                      Very nice :blue thumb:
                      I have benches and table with chairs but find I can't sit still!? I'll go out with a coffee then I'll spot a weed or a pot that would look better elsewhere or something that needs deadheading or ........ :dunno: :snorky:
                      I think need lessons in relaxing :noidea::snorky:
