Our village is growing into the other two next to us. We are wondering with all the hundreds of houses being built where the kids will go to school and whether we will ever get an appointment at the local health centre

We have lived in this area for over 40 years and seen it grow from smaller than a village to what will soon become a village if all housing estates keep being built.
The village I grew up in is a town now.

We have always had them, one of the joys of living in the countryside :-D. The Black Squirrels are very pretty to look at but very destructive

We don't have many squirrels but we do have pigeons and magpies and reckon it is because their patch is being built on.

Bl***y Squirrels and also feathered rats (wood pigeons) they are a damn nuisance

Tree rats???

I don't have mole problems but we do get trouble from the tree rats :-| :-| :-|

We have fir trees and oak trees in the field behind our house so always have leafs and needles to deal with, and the mole is back again grrr.

I dread the leaves dropping from the big trees on the next door property. I have all year problems with the cedar needles which are a damn nuisance :-| :-|. Nite nite , sleep well :-D <3

My bin is full and I have two sack full now as well, It won't be emptied for a fortnight, then we have one more at the end of November. It won't be long before all the leaves start blowing into my garden :-(

I want to try and get the other borders weeded this week, then I can concentrate on unmentionables while I am on leave and enjoy some walks with fur . :-) :-)

I am off now. Sleep well, LG :-) <3

Evening ZZzzz, we haven't done a lot today,just the basics. We will clean the house through on Tuesday as we have the boiler fella out on Wednesday for the yearly service.

I've made a bit of a dent in the ironing pile, I was amazed at the rediscoveries of clothes that were hiding, hubby vacuumed the whole house so it looks and smells nice now, we sprinkle talc on the floors first :-D

Our green bin is almost full and seeing as we are only have one collection in 2 weeks time we are going to top it up. Hopefully we can get outside this week and get the last few jobs done to put the garden to bed for the winter

I have, LG :-) It makes a change and I'm proud of myself tonight, albeit very achy :-0

The gardener only did half his usual time on Monday as he was running late. Only a couple of borders were weeded and the side privet cut. R had done the grass the week before so was going to leave it until the gardener comes again, but it has shot up this week, particularly at the back where it is more shaded.

I had a lot of day lilies suddenly appear in the border this year after being stripped out several years ago. They have reinvented themselves and I have pulled the lot out . What a painful job to do and loads of roots/

Evening YG, my you have been busy. :-D.

Evening everyone :-)

Maz, I hope you have a lovely few days away. it will be very refreshing for you and blow some cobwebs away!! :-)

We have had beautiful weather today, so I have been in the garden all afternoon and managed to get some jobs done, although some more to do hopefully a bit at a time after work each day this week.

Evening Maz, we have just had a visit from baby boy and caught up with the latest gossip. I bet you still wake up really early , I always do :-D :-D

Where is everyone ?
I am just about packed not going too early so I can relax a bit though I have the bins etc to empty and stuff ,be nice not to be up early for bus though .

We have not decided what we will be doing tomorrow yet. Nite nite YG sleep well. :-D <3

I will just open the window a bit and say 'the pub'!!

Right I am off to bed. It is very late for me tonight!!

I am hoping for a dry day tomorrow, as I want to cut the back grass if possible.

Sleep well, LG :-) <3
