OwdoMorning all
Fair windy out there, missed the light breezes
It was the oldest sprog..
no, that was the newest member of the clan...
has worked out well, as we are 15 mins from everybody instead of a hour plus depending on traffic, 2 hr teatime runs were the norm and that was avoiding the worst, morning was 105 on average, normal traffic an hour...
a move was the best idea plus we are much, much closer to other family.
Mind you haven't seen them that often due to you know what..

I haven't tried to delve too deeply but one side of the garden has a fence with a very thick growth of ivy that I'm sure will have ruined the fence and it has also bridged over to the tops of a couple of bushes.

If our sale is delayed I'll be spending on the major house projects and trying to save on the decorating and gardening costs by doing quick fixes myself.

Sorry, never noticed thisOK, the new house has a few shrubs and bushes at the back so secateurs are required. May even need a mini saw to cut away some deadwood.
Any suggestions, apart from something cheap and cheerful from Amazon.
Saw a set on Amazon earlier and am wondering if they are any good. The 'Fakespot' site says the reviews contain minimal deception
