When you say "done", Lullabelle, what exactly do you mean in relation to gardening?
I've got half an acre............if you feel frustrated at your lack of gardening opportunities I am sure I could find you something to do.

Today I stretched a net across our pond to keep the *^&$(*Y&**! mallards off.

If you ever get bored, I've got seven acres Mostly woodland, though, so chainsaw and wood carrying skills while not necessary, would be useful.

Reminds, need to fettle the lawnmower and tackle the grass, sorry, weeds before they get out of control...

I'm sat listening to some birds singing at the moment. One bird sounds like it is frantically sawing away at a piece of steel with a hacksaw , whilst another bird sounds like somebody drawing their thumbnail along the teeth of a plastic comb !

I saw 7 Newts in SIL's pond last night . I think there were more but I couldn't see them all at the same time .

@Fab Foodie back from a ride and hungry!!!!

I needed him to strip off as soon as he came back to get his kit washed and ready for his weekend bike festival.

Haha, I usually come in for a cuppa after we've been out for a spin. I feel like I dodged a bullet by continuing straight home last night.

As I was stringing out the anti-mallard net over our pond yesterday evening, I noticed newts regularly. Counting them is impossible. I also enjoy seeing the great diving beetles which seem to be thriving here.

We had snow in June in Leicester once, late 70s, early 80s. A first class match at Grace Rd was snowed off.

I clearly remember it, I've also been 'backpacking' up in Derbyshire at this time of year when after a couple of days walking in T-shirt and Shorts I woke up to find a foot of snow over the tent. I stuck it out that day (there was a pub opposite the campsite) but the next night was freezing although I was snug in my tent but with no sign of a thaw I bailed out and bussed it back to Derby where I had an 'open return' train ticket back to Leicester (I'd originally planned to walk back along the Tissington Trail, camp near Ashbourne then walk to Derby)

A couple of years ago we were staying with friends near the Tissington Trail (Butterton) when snow cut the village off for a week in April/ May. My wife had to ring school to say she couldn't get in.....
