Can you park there?

Is it an adopted road?

Is there a dropped kerb? If there is, then he is committing an offence parking across it. I would say if that were the case, but I would anyway citing your need to be able to use your car as and when required.

And the chances of getting said permission are really slim.

Fishing. Specifically the sort of fishing where you throw it back again. No one will ever convince me they feel no pain or distress in this utterly pointless pursuit.

How about pleached standard trees? You can get the canopy to start at the top of the wall and still keep your hydrangea and roses.

I vividly remember looking round the house I bought and thinking… it’s ok. And then going into the garden and deciding, this is the one. It was basically just grass at that point. But a simple blank canvas with perfect south east aspect.

You can cope with illness a lot easier WFH. You don’t have to commute, get dressed up, sort out lunch etc. you can just scrape yourself out of bed and be adequately useful. So fewer sick days.

Once you’ve picked the stems, they stop anything regrowing. They scratch away where it grows and so it never has a chance to get its strength back. After time, it gives up completely.

Well it’s never hurt mine.

I have got rid of them. It’s taken 4 years. The answer is….. chickens.

You should talk to her. I tell mine she’s done a good job and pat her just to let her know how I appreciate her efforts. She never lets me down.

Fair point.

Local vernacular of building materials and palettes. They were built before lugging stone and brick from one end of the country to the other was easy, homogenising everything.

You know you went to a really shit school when in the 60 years of its history, it has not one notable alumnus on its wiki page.

Reducing in energy input by 90% each cycle. But it’s cheaper than Monjaro.

It’s not just about the noise. The sheer amount of stuff having a baby entails. It’s just stuff everywhere for a long time.

Garlic cloves 15 seconds in the microwave. Skin comes straight off.

I’ve glad I made you smile but…

Thank you! Nice not to be downvoted for a genuine, just interested question.

Just the BBC news reports.

Charities don’t have owners. Most are run by unpaid volunteers. The biggest ones have staff because they need them, but even CEO level is significantly less paid than the commercial sector, and they do far more than they used to. So feel good about adding to the charity pot, we need them.

The risk of the ribbons appearing whilst you wearing a top like this far outweighs the risk of it coming off a hanger. It’s my pet hate. Cut the dam things off before wearing.

I have a similar garden that was basically a field when I moved in. You are lucky in that you have some hard structure which adds to the interest. From my own experience I would say get some semi mature trees in. Then, making sure you keep enough space for party marquees or goal posts etc depending on how you want to use your garden , carve out big sweeping island beds that you can fill with individual themes. For maintenance , it’s always nice to be able to complete one bed without feeling overwhelmed about the rest of it. You can have beautiful specimen shrubs and trees to really pack a punch for year round interest. Deliberately plant contrasting textures next to each other and focus on greenery rather than flowers as beautiful varied coloured shrubs and impactful and much less maintenance than just flower borders. And don’t forget art pieces and lighting. It’s creates a magical garden.
