Well done you!

Stainsby festival is dear to my heart, having missed last year due to illness after 10 years of attending. Hubby and i even spent part of our honeymoon there

Ah Stoney, If the spare cash ever did make an appearance, let me know and i'll pop to their shop for you when I go and visit my aunty, they're not far from me at all. :iconbiggrin: Oh, and if I had the cash, I'd buy the neighbours houses as we are one of three tiny terraces and the field out the bac...

Hello

1979's a good year isn't it?!

Thanks guys,

I've since moved the greenhouse, and thought that the relocation to a slightly more exposed spot would've put them off, but no. The sweet corn had obviously...

Wow! Both me and the OH seriously need a new pair of specs and we were both cursing the sheer amount of money we would have to part with in one go, but, are we brave enough to try it online, pbf I'll be watching this space with interest!

By way of an explanation, lovely hubby who works for a scaffolding firm furnished me with all the necessary equipment to build a pole and hoop type net frame to protect my greens from the ever present butterflies. :icon_smile: Now that the broccoli is almost on it's last legs I'm soon to be pulling ...

Lovely isn't it!? I stumbled across his site a while back and occasionally drift off into fantasies involving living somewhere like that. Just be nice to have the land to do it on first though!

Many congratulations!!! I had my flu jab when I was pregnant and it had no adverse effects on me :geek: and considering I have since discovered I have a heart condition I'm glad I did it as I'm one of those folks with "underlying health issues". I also work in a high risk area adult day se...
