Cleaning glass will be a welcome change from picking up Labrador poop .......even though the bosses Labradors left the site in October , my neighbours still think it's fine for their friends 4 labs to visit the garden and s..t everywhere ! When I asked the neighbour to clean it up ....he ended throwing it in the flower beds were we work ! Never asked again , was easier for me to clear it up !

For those who may wish to visit Thenford,  Open days are ticket only and anyone can attend as long as they book in advance, via the secretary, Thenford House, Thenford, Nr. Banbury, Oxon, OX17 2 BX.  Says anyone can attend so maybe Martin will be forgiven and let in :D

Would love to come and check out the gardens. Are you close to a relocation date? It will probably be some time before I can figure in a trip, but you never know.

I hope so , feeling a bit melancholy today . Doing the last river fly survey with the wildlife trust ......it's just I don't know if the new people will take care of all the wildlife and bugs and stuff that I've fought to protect and nurture . It's out of my hands and that makes me a bit sad today .

 Good luck, Emma, hope you don't leave any behind. Lots of work to move your plants as well as yourself and the Frenchies, but I think your new home is going to be great.  I feel it in my bones  -at least I hope it's  that and not just the cold snap ! ::)

Probably a bit of both, Maggi.
