Hi gang, dreaded blue screen on pc last night, tried numerous things on utube to rectify and was about to take it to menders, either that or post it to Karen,
. Went back to it and used a recovery disc which restored the system only to find it was windows 7. 
Then managed an upgrade free to windows 10. Lost a few things but nothing…[Read more]-
Well done on both fronts Dixon

Something spooked these two.

I have no idea what this duck is, it could be a hybrid?

Tiny little fungi on a piece of wood.

Gorgeous, Cilla!

Must’ve been you

Aren’t they pretty

He/she looks quite fat too

Have often wondered if the prominently brown patches on face and back are a result of crossbreeding of red and greys over the century, but maybe not
-
lovely
-
I have a great admiration for fungus, which only grows
-
Could be a call duck – a lot of them seem to have some of the fawn/pastel colour
-
well caught, Cilla
-
Nice
-
Perfect

where’s my comment gone
?? I thought the duck was rather like a goosander? -
That’s a cracker Cilla.

It’s that low autumn sun that makes all the difference

That is so pretty Jane.

I can’t believe how quickly that pond has matured, lovely wild and natural.
-
Thanks, both
We don’t usually see much sunlight in this bit but the trees are doing well at shedding their leaves -
Thanks you both
I can’t believe how the articulated rush has spread this year. This rush is held in one tiny place by gravel and it roots directly in the water. You can see a few apples bobbing since clearing some yesterday! -
Lovely pics Jane, the autumn sun does help make some fab shots.
The lane looks great, well done.

Wow! Both excellent testaments to all your hard work Jane … bravo

That grass looks horrible to remove, well done you

Thank you both
The moss will stay for the time being -
Well done Jane the lane.
Looks well.

Morning clickers. Dry, bright and mild here – what a strange November this is! Spent yesterday morning and into the afternoon in the Herts & Essex Minor Injuries Unit with Finn waiting to see a nurse then waiting for x-rays, then waiting to see the nurse again. He has broken a bone in his thumb and chipped another so is now taped up (very…[Read more]

Good morning Jenn ….
that clothes shop sounds very 50s…just like one we used to get school uniforms from! .yuk!
Poor Finn
he’s getting good at this broken bone lark Hope he’s better soon
Good luck with the day -
Morning Jenn
Tired me out reading all that Hope today is better all round -
Afternoon Jenn, it’s non stop in Essex by the sounds of it ;-)I hope Finn is okay and today is quieter.

Ye Gods, Cilla – it must be awful to be in perpetual competition with OH in the walking stakes – especially considering that you take time out to make him parkin cake and other delicacies. Can’t you hide the gadget that measures his distances?

morning Bean, I’m not really bothered, I’m sure I walk more miles a day between stove and sink anyway…….not to mention up and down the garden, bird and cat feeding…….you get the gist

Certainly do here, Cilla

Morning Clickers, looking like a dry day, though I can’t see too far just yet.
A wee bit of work to sort this morning, but pool first. Hoping to get back to the greenhouse clearing this afternoon. Have a good day all. -
A bit disappointed to see that it’s lashing down here – I had high hopes of clearing up some more of the front garden today, since I can’t run the risk of passing this cold to my “new” friend today, and will have to call off that arrangement. It means nothing stands between me and more de-cluttering – oh Woe! Perhaps it will dry up soon, and if…[Read more]

Think it may be due to clear with you Sheila, so don’t give up yet. Pain in the bum about your cold though
hope that clears soon for you. Deep respect that you are de-cluttering – I keep threatening to do it – isn’t procrastination wonderful.
-
-
Morning Karen ane Bean. Sounds like you will have a sparkling g/h Karen and Bean is going to have a pristine house
A shame about your cold preventing your befriending day, Bean but I shall send “dry” vibes up north in the hope you can get in to the garden.. -
Morning Cilla, don’t know about sparkling, but it would be good to get all the pots cleared and emptied.
-
-
Morning Karen, Sheila, Cilla
Dry here too – but need to make some soup before going out to play! Have a good day – it sounds pretty busy. I should declutter my shed…-
Morning Jane, ooooh err de-cluttering your shed, brave, brave girl.
-
Morning Jane. I must make some veggie soup……sometime
Have a look on the BBC online news, there is an article on listening to the bees, you may be able to post it in the bee forum, very interesting. 🐝-
The article is on, Cilla
Check it’s the one you mean
-
-
I de-cluttered my garage /garden shed before the roughcasters came because they wanted some space – and now I can’t find anything – so be careful with the shed, Jane.

Hi Sheila
Thinking about it and your own experience, I’ll put it off for a while…

The sun on the golden Turkey Oak tree out the back was glorious again
…. but now I’m off to prepare for an early night, as Dom is poorly at the moment and we have a busy day tomorrow, which may fall largely onto me to organise.
Nightnight All

Morning Anne, hope Dom is feeling much better this morning.

I hope your early night has helped the situation, Anne – and that Dom is feeling a bit better. It’s such a pain when feeling poorly mucks up plans for the day.

Morning Anne. Best wishes and a speedy recovery to Dom

Good morning Gals, and thanks for the good wishes for Dom. He’s much better today, and we think it may have been exhaustion … he had lots of meetings last week for which he preps and follows up assiduously, plus every spare minute he’s doing or planning on what to next do in the house, plus … etc.etc there’s a lot going on at the moment … must…[Read more]

Morning Anne
Glad to hear Dom’s improved – I expect you’re keeping a close eye on him -
Certainly am Jane … he’s not back to strong yet…he’s ‘under-the-weather’ and not eating and full of weird aches, plus he stubbed his toes in the dark of night and they are black&blue ouchouchouch!

Afternoon clickers
just when I thought I would put my feet up I had a smallish bit of work in! Anyway, done and payment received so that’s good. Pottered in the garden for a bit after finishing the lane and built a climbing frame out of bamboo for a clematis to climb over. Have a lovely evening all -
Ooh Jane, please put up a picture of your bamboo frame…I may have to make one for my Blackberry as it’s been no luck finding a ready-made so far.
-

@gertie Hi Anne
not sure if this would work for blackberries. This clematis doesn’t climb (it’s C. x durandii) and I will tie it to the string and bamboo as necessary.
The ground is very damp at the mo and it was easy-ish to poke 6 bamboo poles around the plant. They haven’t necessarily gone in straight but that doesn’t worry me as the plant…[Read more]-
Right, got it … thanks Jane
