Hope you want that shrubbery well cut back.. I tend to go little overboard when pruning... Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Can't attend either I'm afraid - off to sunny Devon for a few days. I may look in once I'm back though - if Cait's house is still standing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 That's extremely kind Cait - I'm sure Sunnyday and me will bne able to keep the Navy happy until everyone else arrives! Still feeling a little jaded from dublinbay's but I'm sure I can overcome that. Don't worry Inge I'm used to extreme gardening - hubby often prunes with a chainsaw!

Inge Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Don't worry Inge I'm used to extreme gardening - hubby often prunes with a chainsaw! so does mine... (lent the chain saw to the neighbours who go so carried away with it they totally removed a 6ft high and 10ft long hedge! They only wanted to lop a tree.. !) I do tend to get carried away with thinking "yes that looks good but with a bit more off here it would be better..." until there is not much left!

Cait Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Thankyou! Hopefully his homing instinct will take him to his previous home! Just busy packing - food as well as we're self-catering! Oh Zebedee says please don't play with the train set in the loft as he's dismantled the west end for the wiring over the viaduct. You can drive the little cars around and play with the animals in the fields howver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Liberal amounts of witchazel is gradually reducing the welts Geraldine, thank you for showing me such concern, it is appreciated. Added to the witchazel have had copious amounts of G&T which is helping no end. Perhaps we could rig up a kind of ski run off the roof for your next flight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I will bring a good supply of Arnica gel.. very good for bruises perhaps a bigger parachute.. will borrow my sons , he uses it for wind surfing and has a good uplift which may help a bit... and think I will delay the pruning , it may give a bit of 'cushion' for the next landing.. Now are those Navy chaps still around? and will they be able to help ? Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 anyone for Cider? went to the farm as I passed it on my way. bought a barrel of the stuff...really good local Thatchers... Inge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Mmm cider - my favourite - is it alright to mix with pink gins the navy boys have been offering me? I was just doing a spot of judging of their knots you understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
