Many thanks Martin-it would be £111.87 to here (ie. the end of the known world!)

That would be the near end David? I think there is another David at the far end?

Ah now, I wasn't referring to you "New World" people, that refernce applies strictly to the "Old World"

Above what age, David ... 'cause I will probably qualify!!!   

[David Nicholson]

You'd get in anyway Cliff

I'm so happy I need nothing stronger than gardening to achieve my Nirvana! But such a sedate life isn't enough for all. Watch this: (their speed is 200km/h)

Ah Davey, but you didn't. Our turn next but the result will probably be the same!

I did a major clean out of my car yesterday because I was pretty sure there was a mouse living in it. I didn't find the mouse but I did find your seed which I had posted in the glove box and it had got no further. It will go today. I apologise profusely.

Lesley Sri-Lanka made England look like a Saturday pub side,but i will cross my fingers for you i hope New Zealand win,if you can manage to take the game away from there bowlers and attack them you might stand a chance.

[Lesley Cox]

Well I'll be trying Davey but whether the batsmen will, is another matter!

Definitely chuffed.
Discussed with better half what to do about a set of Conifers in a raised bed. Despite their 'dwarf' claims they were well over the height and girth which the bed could sustain. 24 hours later the bed is clear and the soil removed and replaced with good fresh rich top soil. Empty 6 sq. metres of semi shaded bed to plant up. But that is not the reason for elation.
Discussed with better half what to do about an area of garden nest to the pond. It was overrun with a type of Carex. 24 hours later the Carex is out (hope it is only the rhizome type roots which are persistent. The thin fibrous roots went a long way down.),. Only 20 barrow loads of stuff to go to the recycling yard and only 2 large buckets of pottery and scrap iron in the bin. Dug over and filled up with good clean top soil. But that is not the reason for elation.
Discussed with better half what to do with the Heather bed. They are well past their replace by date and have suffered badly this winter. "That would be a good place for the new crevice garden you wanted, " she says. Now that is the reason for elation.

Edited to add that elation is tempered by the discovery of rabbit holes under the heathers..."born and bred....born and bred eh?
