Beautiful garden, well done to the live in gardner

Thanks - he really has worked hard!! I did get a bit of a telling off about the second photo, though I promised faithfully I hadn't actually rested my bike on his immaculately espaliered apple tree

Charming!


We've never been to Kent, obviously it won't be as pretty as @Mattonsea 's place, but still worth a visit.

Not as pretty as the farm or the forest granted but it is a lovely, small, unspoilt coastal town and you would be welcome any time. You could even bring your bikes and pop over for lunch in Calais and have a ride.

I will tell the border guards

I did admire that tree. I love espallier and want to do that against one of my east facing walls. I retire in 2018 and my garden is going to recieve a massive makeover.

There's also a couple of plums trees being trained across the front of the house - they look fab, but it's early days yet. Joining the RHS was one of the best things he's done; we're close enough to Rosemoor in Devon for it to be a nice morning out, and their apple trees and veg plots are a sight to behold, really inspiring, and the staff are a great source of advice and ideas, as well as the workshops, magazines and newsletters which are part of the 'offer'. I know he'd recommend joining for a year, especially if you have an RHS main garden anywhere near you. He's loving retirement!

@Katherine had problems with the BB on her new Dawes.....so it does happen

Watched a GCN video on You Tube and tightened all i can. My drivetrain is Shimano and there is one bit that an allen key won't fit. According to the video i need a Shimano specific tool so i will let the LBS check it out.

Have they moved the photo challenge thread into 'know how'?

Anyway wimps, aren't beaches supposed to have some sand or summat?
Couldn't build a sandcastle there like you could in Blackpool

 

[Hill Wimp]

Yep, it's worth taking in to the LBS. don't be tempted to over tighten it, BTW.

No chance of that, i have the upper body strength of an 8yr old.

However @potsy don't be fooled it's Ninja training for me again soon

If I have missed something in the last 12 pages please let me know....

Otherwise a photo for the rapidly disappearing photo challenge - actually finding a photo that meets the current challenge is a challenge all by itself. Yesterday morning and my OH's bike in the pre 8am sunlight.

Ahem, i seem to be the only one before SatNav posted to be posting even photos ( NUMEROUS ) and mine have been lots of blues, greens and Golds which i do believe are COLOURS .

Though the best one belongs to @thegreenman without a shadow of doubt

 

[Hill Wimp]

Ahem..........did you forget about me?

Was there a bike in the photo ?

Yes but you could at the other end of the beach in Sandwich Bay

 

[Hill Wimp]

Yes, in all of them

I will always believe what you say Rocky

Lovely sunny day, greenhouse all ready for me to do some cuttings and really crack on, oh Goddammit:

A couple of goes but without much hope of being in with a chance.

A nice bright coloured postbox. The sign underneath says that it's out of use at the moment due to a bird nesting inside.

Golden crops ready for harvest, blue sky and lush green woodland. I'm trying at least.
