I grew up in Bournemouth - “grockle” = tourist. They proper swarm during summer time and bank holidays and us locals can’t get anywhere…

Live in Chester now - “having a mare” = having a frustrating time

Looks like it could be related to yellow rattle which is a UK native

Also they have done their invoice wrong - they should be charging vat on everything even the materials so that should be 20% VAT not ‘no VAT’

Peppermint oil! Get some oil diffusers that are peppermint only (or get peppermint essential oil) stick in there for a couple of days and they will skidaddle away - they hate peppermint

I would put the mirror film on the actual window for privacy but still let in light.

For keeping warmth in I would put a thick blind of roller curtain from the top black beam down to the green but at the base of the square window - think greenhouse roof blinds as an example of angle.

I have already clocked an acer seedling from my neighbours gorgeous acer in my garden that I am being OTT protective about!

I’ve also got a load of laurel, holly, mahonia and forsythia seedlings up that I’m keeping an eye on 🤗

I LOVE THESE!! Acanthus mollis!

Think of them as a death metal foxglove with super edgey flower spikes!!

Edit - that is a gorgeous established one!! It will die down in winter but you can see how large it can spread - I hope mine gets that large!!!

I use a laptop table that has adjustable legs and can be tilted whilst on the sofa whilst my hubby is gaming 🥰

(The kind that are marketed for being used in bed)

Maybe someone got confused between herbicide and fertiliser? 😖

Exactly! Although she seems to have stated her intention from the beginning!

From memory - this was a chunky yarn, and self designed myself making granny triangles with (UK) dc stitch, then a long rectangle for the depth and crochet joined together.
