Hmm,having been away from the ‘puter for a few days I see the world has moved on.
Great news about the allotment, have you planted Dad’s parsley/mesclun from Christmas? Guess it may be a bit early. Try gooseberries and red currents too, hard to get in the shops/markets, but delicious, also rhubarb. Why not a row of flowers for picking for the house, oh you get the picture. Is a pond permissible on am allotment (for that Christmas carp!)?
The potentila allotment here at hatches is just disappearing under abuilding lot, a real scorched earth policy, apparently the conservation area status dictates that a hundred year old hedge and a couple of apple trees as well as a lovely dark lilac are all surplus to requirements, so much for the Chilterns protection area. Razed/scorched earth is the policy here, still the rumble of machinery arriving at 7.30 was a good accompaniment to the bath, thought I had acquired a spa, the house was shaking so much.
Dr Who; you could be right. I was just waiting for him to offer this week’s lava beasts a jelly baby or two, bring back the jelly babies I say. Last week’s (the one I assume you are referring to) had the brilliant laugh out loud bit of mugging through the windows, completely ignoring the baddies. I thought that made it all worth while. Katherine Tate, not sure, but we did have the momentary reappearance of Rose to ponder, yheah! Too easily pleased?
Thursday, yes I do! I know it seems a bit of a jump from ‘no gardening whatsoever to allotment!’ but there you go!Oh how I miss Christopher Ecclestone…
Chaz, I will put in rhubarb, my Dad is going to split his established plants in Sept and I can have some then. We have gooseberries but the lorry load at my Nan’s, but redcurrants sound a good idea. I am also planning to plant gladioli - a favourite of Mum’s and myself, and as I got 100 bulbs for the same price a bunch is currently fetching I thought it was worth a try! I am sorry to hear about the building site, tho’.
Your bro liked the window bit as well! Yes, the Rose bit was interesting, esp her disappearing in to thin air! I really can’t get on with it at the moment - I prefer the fact that the Catherine Tate character isn’t falling over herself trying to bed the Doctor, a more ‘traditional’ Who-kick, but I can’t stand the character otherwise. Also, it is just so naff now. Watchable, but naff… We’re just hoping for some old-style brilliance from Stephen Moffat this season! Plus, I am not at all looking forward to this whole daughter story line, it just seems wrong!!!

You have an allotment?!! That’s serious stuff. I’m with you on the gardening thing - years ago, I used to trail round garden centres with my mum, utterly bored, until I started myself. I love it. I stopped watching Dr Who after Christopher Eccleston left - I could watch that man all day.
