Thats why they get pruned in the spring, I've seen them allowed to grow wild and they've grown into large tree's

They also tend to travel and were a problem at one time on railway lines as the draught from passing trains spread them along the line

Hardly a cloud in the sky
Second cuppa and toast went down well
Shame I spilt some of the tea on the floor and kitchen units

You deserve a cuppa.

I have fitted the elephant in the cooker and it is working . I'm useful at doing some things.
I have also been given some training at badge making . Not too good at it at the moment . I can feel a nap coming on .

Not content with an elephant in the room, you have to have one in your cooker.

Ours is pruned to about 3 foot high at the end of the year - branches go in my shredder (mmm power tool). The bush is about 12ft high at the moment.

Say you'd have to pay her less if you do any of the work. You pay by results.

I think discretion is the better part of valour .....esp. when she has a broom in her hands

Buddleia will take over the whole garden if not careful.

Excellent butterfly attracters, though! 🦋

Time for a ride. Back in a bit.

The domestic help (cleaner) has turned up , bloody disapproving French woman. Just because l don't clean stuff ...what does she think she is paid to do

When MrsPete had a cleaning company, she would only accept business from clean people & houses..

Only possible exception was a 'Full Spring Clean' and that cost a lot!

Son is back from Taiwan so I am trying to get over for a visit. Went down to Calmac local office and it is shut until next Monday. Aaaargh.
Had a job getting parked as well so just abandoned the car and put up my blue badge.
Try the call centre and got a recorded voice saying “ go away and try again another day”. Persisted with various other offices and eventually got a real person. If I want to travel on Saturday the next available booking is September 25th.
Cannot do it on line as I have concession cards which the system cannot handle and they will not take booking unless it is full price.
Eventually got bookings but not the times I wanted.
I should get one of these cars for the tourist season. View attachment 602573

Wouldn't one of these be better?

How'd she give a person a "full spring clean"?

Not with that flag on it and I doubt it would survive the Firth of Lorne where I have sailed so know the area.

Agreed on the flag. The vehicle in the background has a rather nice one though...

If you build up, and hold your speed, you should be able to go over that hump just after the half way point with minimal input from yourself.

I hope you don't organise any group rides...
