New Year
Happy New Year to all. Hope you have had a great start to the New Year. We spent the last day of the Old Year over-eating, over-drinking (thank God prosecco does not count towards your alcohol intake or calories – or so I believe), over-dancing (some great Northern Soul on radio 6) and generally being […]
Winter time

How glamorous
Yesterday was an excellent example of just how glamorous the glamorous assistant is. I dug up 5 hedging plants (with huge roots), then manhandled 20 bags of grit/granite from carpark to a pallet on the nursery (2 bags at a time in a wheelbarrow), followed by moving 6 huge (350 ltr) waterbutts and partly filling […]
Tunnel vision
My daily tunnel vision. Some lovely Darlo’s (Darlingtonia californica to be exact) in one corner of the tunnel, and another lovely person in the other corner hard at work (yes, the boss) TGA
Shows and Fairs updated
Shows and Fairs updated for 2017. The ones listed are confirmed. Some dates are still missing, and – like last year – some dates clash so we have to work out the logistics whether it is possible to double (triple) up. We will also try and fit in a few open days/weekends, will keep you […]
