  Reply | Contact  It has been quite cloudy here today. They are lovely pics Susiq really good, what a bunch of beauties!...they are all so cute.. Is is possible to do a system restore lillyrose and revert back to a few weeks ago when it was working OK? I have done that when all else fails..you can do that in Windows as it takes a 'snapshot' of your system every so often. Nic has been so busy with her cakes, she has 5 days of gruelling work now ending with a stall at a wedding fair on Sunday at the Leicester Tigers rugby ground. I will upload what she has been making so that you can all see. Hope you enjoyed your cuppa and sarnies Sue. I was going to sow a few trays of seeds and got them ready filled with compost then Nicola came in the garden and knocked them all over the decking when she was walking by with a camera -Richard

  Reply | Contact  Aaaaaw cute! (that's a reaction to the puppies - not Richard!) I pass this place on my way to and from work http://www.portersgarden.hampshire.org.uk/ They often sell plants to help raise money for the garden. Today I bought a clematis, a heuchera, a day lilly and a salvia for £5 the lot!  Last week I  got a big Pasque flower for £2 Think I'll be popping in again later in the year! Whether you think you can do a thing, or think you cannot, you are right.

  Reply | Contact  Gorgeous pictures Susiq, I wonder why all dogs seem to like the dishwasher the amount of times I've caught Sasha licking at the cutlery in there is unbelievable, she doesn't usually go for the plates but that's probably because she knows she's already licked them before they went in.  At least she doesn't do it when everything has been washed It's gone cold here too lillyrose, your curry sounds just the job for warming yourself up Enjoy your arm exercises at the local tonight Richard You got some good bargains there Phot's and I bet it won't be too long before you go back again sue1002

  Reply | Contact Hi all, Those are mighty fine baby dogs susiq, I am wondering how many babies will Phoebe have, phoebe's boyfriend wants £100, but only when we are sure the pregnancy is going okay, he is a big brown labrador called reckless and he's friendly but a bit silly. At the moment we are just getting rid of the last of the manure at the stables, and OH says we might get another tractor but with a bucket on for digging, it has to be small enough to get inbetween all the buildings though. I have quite a few seeds coming up in the propagators now and I've just sown a load of african marigolds "vanilla", anyway that's it for 2 nite , see ya>  digger Sage of the fells

  Reply | Contact  Morning all, it's a little warmer here today and it's drizzling.  Sasha seems to be wondering why the sofas have been put outside and she is sitting in the place where one used to be looking rather confused.  Just had a phone call to say the new ones will be here in about an hour so best go and wake OH up so he can take the delivery and I'll get off to work with turkey sarnis again. I'll have a look at Nicola's pics later on Richard when I've got more time. sue1002

  Reply | Contact  Morning all, bit warmer here too Sue and cloudy. Poor Sasha, I bet by the time you come in from work she will have made her self at home on one of the new sofas though. I tried restoring like you suggested Richard, back to when everything was running ok but it has made no difference. I will look at Nicolas pics later too as I am just off down the market. Have a good day all, dont work too hard Sue. If I can get back in I will be back later x

  Reply | Contact Hope you had a successful market day shop lillyrose  OH rang me a little while ago to say that Sasha is looking sorry for herself and won't get up on the new sofas perhaps she's not too keen as they haven't as yet got her smell on them and I bet by the time I get home, she's probably tried them both out Oh dear asj, you're not having much luck lately, hope you're feeling better soon sue1002

  Reply | Contact  Good afternoon all. Well I sowed a packetful of salad bowl lettuce in the guttering on the side of the shed just now, and have  started off  the achoca seeds that I managed to salvage last year. I have started them off much sooner this year so hopefully I will get it right and be able to share some seeds at the end of the season. I only had two small fruits last year. You will be making yourself comfortable on the new sofas when you get home from work Sue I expect. Hope you enjoyed your turkey sarnies Have a good time in town lillyrose. I will upload Nicolas pics on Photobucket that way they should be easier to view. Sorry the restore didnt work for you.... Sorry to hear you have not been well asj hope you start to feel better soon. -Richard

  Reply | Contact Hi all, been to a 'trade fair' for holiday cottages today, gathering as many leaflets etc as poss for our guests - quite a few new places to visit in the area have sprouted up Wish I could get time to visit them myself! Digger, I'm sure all will be fine with Pheobe, but genuinely hope for your sakes, she doesn't have as many as 10 pups - can't begin to describe what hard work its been Sorry to hear you've been under the weather asj, hope you will get better very soon Can't get into the pics either Richard of all Nicola's efforts, hope you manage to get them onto photybucket. Hope you get a good result this time with the mysterious Achoca seeds Bargains or wot Phot's well done you! Sue, by the time you get home from work, I bet Sasha has 'found the right spot' on your lovely new sofa's and you will probably get second choice! How was the market Lillyrose - any bargains?

  Reply | Contact Hope you do better with the achoca this year Richard, perhaps starting them off earlier as you have done this year will give them a good growing season. You know Sasha too well Susiq  apparently she didn't make any attempt to get on any of the sofas until my son came home from school, then she raced him to his seat.  Judging by the picture I've not long ago taken, it looks like it meets with her approval sue1002
