I wandered down the garden on Saturday and came across this man/sheep. He just stood there staring as if daring me to say something. Of course, being British, I just said “Good afternoon†politely and continued on my way. He was gone by the time I’d finished inspecting the cliff top. All very odd. (I’ve […]
The Last Post I had been instructed by Lo, she is a terrible Goddess to construct a trellis work fence in the front garden but she has exercised her prerogative and changed my mind. Apparently we are now going to have short posts with rope looped in-between. I can make the short posts out of […]
A Step in the Right Direction It’s only taken me two years to get round to it but I’ve laid the top step at last [with the help of Tiggz]. This area has been a bit of a trip hazard and quite honestly I don’t know why Lo, she is a terrible Goddess hasn’t insisted […]
The Bank Manager Calls *RING RING* “Hello Daddy Papersurfer here.†……[listens] “Oh hello, Sir.†…………………………………………………………………………………………………..[listens for ages] “I realise Sir that you are not a font of cash.†……………… “Yes I do know that we’re in a recession. I rather got the impression that perhaps the banks had something to do with it.†…………….. ………………   […]
Did the Earth Move for You? Lo, she is a terrible Goddess has made several trips to various gardening centres last week. This picture shows some of the bags of earth she bought. Of course, in the gardening centres there are always young acolytes (An attractive feature of gardening, I find. Lo,TG Ed) available who […]
The Incontinent Gardener The garden is waking up and apparently I have to as well. Lo, she is a terrible Goddess has been very insistent. First on the long list was to get the rill tinkling. I did think of quite an amusing way of achieving this effect but wisely decided to do it properly. […]
I’m glad it was her …… I’d never go so near the edge of the cliff top …… unless I’d had a couple of drinks of course. I think I saw at least two fairies BTW ……. . Match of the Day .
So the vegetable plot is dug and ready to go. I wonder who I can feed this year ……. apart from the slugs the birds and the rabbits, all of whom seem to have enjoyed my efforts last year …… oh, and the fox who appears to be a vegetarian and have very loose bowels. […]
Surprisingly the Cliff Top Residence sits on the top of cliffs. They are about 150’ high. If you look down the garden you are looking straight out to sea. Seagulls inhabit and fly along the cliffs. Every now and again one or two or three seem to zoom up out of the ground at the […]
I know what I was doing ……. Let’s see if the maths adds up. 12 tons of ‘stuff’ moved to the bottom of the garden – see here. 4 tons of sand and cement delivered [to the front garden and then trundled –tsk] 3 tons 20mm stones delivered [to the front garden and then trundled […]
