Oh my, I have so much I want to write about...

...but I just seem to have no time at the moment - or maybe I'm too drunk. It's just bollocks really, Chelsea and all that Chump-yuns League stuff and paying enough money for a player to build half a hospital wing and then, tonight the Lib-Dems knocked on my door and this is the "conversation":


(knock, knock - door opens)


Lib-Dem bloke (spotty herbert with a really stupidly big grin) Hi! We're from the    Lib-


Me Fuck off!


(door slams)


So rude I know, but I just can not tolerate these people on my doorstep, because basically it's my doorstep and they do not deserve to be standing on it. The other guy looked like William Hague with hair, my God, do not come knocking on my door looking like William Hague with hair. Jeez, he even had a trench coat on, what the hell is THAT all about?


Politics eh?


Smells like compost...

Listen, quick...

...before this gets taken down, THIS is the truth about Yuri Gagarin:

Shhh, you didn't see me...

I need to sort my life out...

...because I can't get my act together and write regularly on here. Too much work, but that is good as I only get paid when I work. Maybe I should stop watching the telly so much...

It's compost Jim, but not as we know it...

...actually that's a lie, it's just that there's so much of it. Some of it has been laying there untouched at Pat's for about 15 years. It will take a lot of sorting but once it's sieved (I like a bit of sieving) it's tremendous stuff!


And here it is:

It'll probably take me most of the summer to sort it all out, but that is the beauty of this part of gardening, no deadlines to beat, no marketeers telling me what it's all about and no jumped up little squirt thinking he/she can tell me what, where & when to do it.


Keep on diggin'... Innit?

Rabbits are good

Trying to remember...

...why I started this blog. There doesn't appear to be enough time in the day when I'm compost-mentis enough to do it!


Keep on digging... Innit?

Garden heaven...

Our compost, some of which is at least 6 years old - it's lovely I think you'll agree

Hellebores at Pat's place - my favourite flower, they give you colour all year round just about

The Volvo - I call it the Belgrano, 'cos it' big and grey and never been anywhere near the Falkland Islands. Must tidy it up soon...

A new diddy lawn at Tom & Vicky's - she wanted somewhere to lay in the sun!

The rockery at Julie's - not a fan of tulips, but they looked so nice at the top there!

Can't beat a good daff at it's zenith

And there you have it. A lovely week in amongst the flowers. Pruning, trimming, mowing and hoeing - just a shame I couldn't go out with the TUC on Saturday, what fun and japes was there!


No cuts here - not of that kind anyway...


Happy chopping!
