I've been looking at train tickets for a day out in Oxford. The round trip would only take four hours on the train, an hour on the bus and an hour's walk to and from the bus stop...

For ice cream aficionados, Copenhagen Cones,
Mount Maunganui , Tauranga NZ. should be high on any list!

You could have said 5 years ago when I was there bit flippin' late now

Someone has just brought me tea in bed - I'm such a lucky chap.

I have tea in bed too. Very civilised.

Don't be alarmed but I'm up and dressed....

Both chooks are now roaming freely. the white one can't get out by herself so I'm leaving the gate open since Harriet Houdini (the black one) can get out but not in by herself. Both have spent the day enjoying the veg plot. This could be a long term issue however currently it is weeds and soil only (plus many big grubs which I put in a bucket and feed to them periodically)

Fence off or cover the veggies once they're planted.

I'd quite like to go away but can I finish my coffee first?

The problem is that the way out Harriet Houdini had been using is up a supporting fence section for the gate which holds a stand pipe for the bore water and the very heavy gate (Red eucalyptus is very heavy wood). This leads into what would naturally be the fenced area for the veg plot. We even have the fencing purchased and ready to go in but now can't see the point (not to mention my OH's inability to make gates!) sadly there are at least 2 places where this will happen just because of the design of the place.
Covering the veggies may be my only option but there are a lot to cover and I can't currently see how I can with the way the beds are. thinking cap need!

If you can figure out a way to upload plans, I'd be happy to don mine. (If I can find it!)

Morning all, it is a bright day here in Bucks and I am wishing I was outside and not stuck at my desk. Please explain to me how it is month end again, I just seem to be constantly working on month end at the moment!

Still my day is being cheered by listening to the 'Unbelievable Truth' on audible.
