The lads have been working flat out and our latest treat is that an ice cream van has appeared on site!

The blacksmith Chris knitted together some sisal for our boundary fence and I found the easiest way to carry it was around my neck, hence my new hair extensions in the photo.

We are praying that the storm forecast is no more than a passing shower, although the surrounding gardens are putting up shelters to protect their plants. This is starting to make me worry!

Fingers crossed everything will be ok, but for now it's time to get some much needed sleep.

washing_lines.jpgA few weeks ago the RHS put a call out to women around the country to donate their bras. Not for any sort of unusual mulch or even anything kinky, but to turn them into recycled containers for plants.

Now that the show has arrived we can see some of the 'hanging braskets' in action (their pun not mine). I was sceptical about the idea at first, but it has to be said that some of them make surprisingly good containers, provided of course that the lady who donated her undergarment was fairly well endowed.

Much has been made of the historical feel to the show this year, and references to Henry VIII are everywhere. While I'm not sure the display is something he would have chosen for his front lawn, I think he would have approved, he was fond of the odd buxom wench or two after all.
