I have to go to Sains for some things I forgot on friday but it should be quiet as it is half term week. I am meeting my oldest friend (we grew up together) two old neighbours from those days and their friend, for lunch. We met up a few years ago but will have a lot to catch up on. View

Morning clickers. Still very gusty here and very warm. We didn’t have much rain either. I saw my little family’s father yesterday and he said they were living in a fog and may never know where the ecoli bug came from but were overwhelmed by the support of the village. He sent two of the children round to collect the goodies we had bought them and…[Read more]

They exude a foul tasting liquid when attacked so nothing eats them.

Well blow me, you learn something every day, cheers Cilla. Presume all shrews do it? We only have pygmy ones here, they are very cute though.

Good morning clickers, I see you have all been and gone. OH cut the front hedge yesterday morning, I cleared the chttings and it was all done by 10. After lunch we went to a GC for his lawn feed and I bought some green manure and then found 3 tubs of assorted seeds all at 50p so bought two different lettuce and sweet peas and could have gone mad,…[Read more]

Morning Bean, I wish you wouldn’t use these long words at this hour of morning, what is left of my brain isn’t in gear yet and I shall have to google it
Whatever they are I hope they are painless. Our flu jabs aren’t until 10th November, probably have caught it by then Have a sort of good day. -

Good morning Karen. Why oh why do they catch (and usually kill shrews) when they can’t eat them…..must be the thrill of the chase
Wellies on the floor when you get back then! Wind and rain due here all day but probably not as bad as Wales is due. Enjoy that swim -
Morning Cilla, didn’t know they couldn’t eat them!
Yip, wellies did the trick, safely rescued and deposited in the back bank. -

Morning all. Well the hedge was forgotten yesterday as we decided to make the most of the glorious weather and went to Calke for a lovely 6 mile walk with sandwiches at the café en route. We spent most of the afternoon comatose in the conservatory
Pleasures have to be paid for, though, and I have been informed the front hedge will be cut…[Read more]-
Morning again Cilla, oooh errr, “been informed” eh?
Good luck with that. You could always suddenly remember a previously arranged lunch with a friend that you just HAVE to go to. -
Hi Cills…The forecast here is rain all weekend so no gardening booo hooo (or hedge cutting)

Good morning Cilla … glad that he little ones are holding up
HAND 
Morning Cilla and Anne
a very warm night here and we’ve just been for a walk and picked up the paper. Had to take my coat off and just had my t-shirt – quite humid but no rain forecast here today.
It’s good the father can talk to you – and hopefully the children won’t suffer the same from the loss of their siblings if they’re very young.
Have…[Read more]
Morning Cilla, I’m sure those poor parents are in a fog. But a good sign that the youngsters are chattering away.
Hope it stays dry for your walk, there are pulses of horrendous rain going through here, then it eases back to “soft” rain for a while. It was that heavy it woke me a number of times during the night. 
Due to clear…[Read more]
