Today's plan: Go the the garden centre, buy some grass seed, some top soil, and two apple trees. Come home, use the top soil and the seed to reinstate the bonfire area, plant the apple trees, construct sheep fences around them. Today's reality: Went to the the garden centre, bought some grass seed, some top soil, and two apple trees. Fell asleep on the settee.

That's ok, seed keeps ;-)
Did they have to throw you out at closing time? ;-)

You've got something to look forward to tomorrow.
And the light drawing in is a good excuse anyway.

good man
.....and he can get a man in
Yes, well, if your weather is like ours, it was not conducive to doing any outdoor activity yesterday except for about 10 minutes around lunch time, the rest of the day it persistently rained blue a gale and one even heard some thunder. Still the ground is now very wet, so digging a hole might be easier. Brian
How do you make sheep into fences though, Is this a special term from Yorkshire I am not aware of? Brian

Bit late for grass to germinate Bill. Several frosts already down here. I suppose bonfire soil will be warm for a bit:-)
Probably. Basically you knit them.
Bill
Ah but I couldn't sleep this morning (bad conscience) so I got up at six and worked in the garden until 10.30am.
Bill
Yes, I'm risking it aren't I? It gets very cold here as well.
Bill
I've started finding myself wanting a 'morning nap' now, as well as an 'afternoon nap'.

Maybe you missed the video on sheep fencing, it's quite a niche sport where two sheep sword fight against each other ;-)
I suppose it?s so popular that the venues are always rammed and ticket touts fleece punters who want a ticket.

Ticket price tuppence including free baa?
Owain
tuppence,, clever. I grew up on a farm but most won?t know what ewe you meant.
GH
They could always look it up
(say last three words aloud)
I hope it's not an arrestable offence[1] "looking up sheep" Shaun might not like it and as for lamp chop .... well.
[1] might be ok for vets
No need to ram it home! :)
