So my dear Hippo what type of preservatives do you prefer? I like damson and blackcurrant but at a push I'll settle for strawberry.
I never really saw you as a preservative fancier, more a saville marmalade Hippo, but you live and learn.
I'm assuming that the bottom part is set in concrete? Yes unless the top of the cup is sealed there going to have to repeat the process, unless there are drain holes at the bottom? Even then though I can't see them draining quick enough to stop water building up.
Good heavens Jamie that sounds like very hard work and I'm just reading it. I hope you had some assistance. You definitely deserved your 'treat' at the end.
I did help of course that we used to ride up in the same lift together. Plus I was a likeable northern lad who didn't stare at his feet like most southerns do when wanting to avoid eye contact.
Those coppers were practising for the rail replacement bus my dear Hippo.
Brilliant blue skies with the odd wisp of white cloud here in Manutopea. Lovely weather.
Always a good idea to make friends with the bosses PA. Used to surprise quite a few of my contemporarys at one of my places of gainful employment that I was known to her and no it wasn't for my good looks or my charming demeanor either.
Strangely enough I find weeding very therapeutic. I suspect that it's the combination of seeing the ground clean afterwards and the feel of the soil on my skin- enough though I wear gloves. There have been scientific studies done that have shown an improvement in mental health when handling soil.
I've seen some lovely clematis and roses combined. The knack is choose carefully so that the flowers complement one another. I can't get honeysuckles to flower no matter what I do. I have one inter planted with a pyracantha more by accident than chose though.
