The Retirement Thread

[Tenkaykev]

Good morning folks,
Black bin, veg box, health walk group, post parcel, collect granddaughter from school and visit art display before heading home. Realised that the 10k race I entered is a week later than I thought, bags of time to prepare🤔
Have a peaceful day folks. ☀️😎☕️

I haven't got room in the car for 20 bags of gravel, sorry. I've been over to Hilltop and came back with 2 Senecio (Angel Wings), 3 Campanella's (Poscharskyana) and a bag of compost, I'm replanting a border out the front.

In the Drewes Arms, Broadhembury.
It's full of bloody cyclists!
Looks like an organised tour - there's a van outside with 'Peak Tours - Walking & Cycling Tours' plastered over it.
Any of the CC crew on it?

I'm back 18 miles
Container Port only one ship in at low tide

I appreciate you are joking... but... it may be cheaper and more convenient to get gravel delivered. I recently got 850kg large bag, of Cotswold Stone Chippings, delivered, for £115 (Gravelmaster). That was actually cheaper than buying smaller bags from local hypermarket, and, having to lug them myself in the car. I did have to wheel barrow 850kg of chippings to the required spot in the garden of course. Mrs @BoldonLad did supervise the wheelbarrowing

Went to the Co Op and got some cold meats for sandwiches.

It's scorchio here as well.

I only have a small area to cover .Six bags should be enough.when I made a gravel path and a small area at the bottom of the garden Like you I had to barrow it from the front lawn.My problem was to get it to the area I was laying the gravel I had to get it up three steps to get to the upper garden.
Gave me a good work out but I was ten years younger then.

If I even managed to get 20 bags of gravel in my little Suzuki Swift the tyres would be hitting the wheel arches over the bumps.
