That's really good Angie,
From plunge beds to a plunge pool
You just need some bubbles and you could join the fish for a Jacuzzi

Hi Graham, there are bubbles I just had them turned off. My husband said if the fish die he will use it for dipping in. He will have to heat the water first.

David I had to catch the fish from the other pond, can't understand the enjoyment of standing in water and trying to catch a fish. My husband said that I would never catch the fish, well I had to prove him wrong. Two hours later the koi was caught. Give me weeding or potting up anyday. I don't think fishing will ever be for me.

Luc it was boring, I just can't stand or sit for to long when l am in the garden. My husband is always says sit down for a minute but I can't, I look over and see that something is needing done. If he helped I might be able to sit and relax 
Now I need to get rid of some grass and introduce some places for alpines, any one what to help

It's quite easy to sit down for a while if you pour a gin and tonic first.

Or lay down after a few gin and tonics

Anyone affected by hurricane Katia? We have windy conditions but nothing like the weather people predicted

[Maggi Young]

We've had quite a lot of rain, then a sunny spell, now it's getting windier... but "they" say it may be later this afternoon  before the full effect hits here.  Maybe it will just blow on by....

[angie]

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be but like Maggi has just said maybe it will come later, lets hope not.
Took my hanging baskets down this time.
I think this thread should be changed to What Summer

I went down to the sea front this afternoon to see what birds had been blown in by the gale.  I reckon the wind was force 8/9 but this is not unusual here in Autumn and Winter.  The waves were quite impressive when they hit the seawall, sending up walls of spray 8 metres high.  Back home now at 1700, the wind has turned more westerly and the tops of the trees are bending with the wind.  I hope that this is as bad as it gets.
