Well, we met up and what a lovely night we had. Denise is a proper lady and Joe is a big daft lad like me who likes beer and motorbikes.

We kept the lovely Denise plied with the HUGE G&Ts while we talked bollox like blokes do. With Denise providing some sense when needed.

She even turned a blind eye when us daft blokes were getting excited at all the pretty young things who came to stroke my little pal Elvis.

A great night and they loved the prices. A large Gordon's G&T and 2 pints, 5.50€

We were sat outside with just a little breeze, but not cold

They're very quiet today. Hope I didn't get them too drunk

This rose in my garden is about 15 feet tall!

Surprisingly, it survived the storms last weekend and hopefully it will open before the frosts get it.

Wow. Thanks Wendy. I'm never too old to learn. x

Next question..... So, if I chop it off, can I sell it to pay my parking fee?

... or bribe the Traffic Warden?

Take some but make sure the point where it attaches to the host tree remains so that it regenerates.

And don’t forget to leave enough for the Mistle Thrush

What a beautiful church. Saltford would be even better if they ever build the A4 bypass!

We are in Caneshum ...

Well we're all drained down for the winter but a couple of pics from the garden. Unusual to see roses in the snow.

Just spent 4 days fettling after Storm Arwen.
It took a couple of slates off the 200 year old barn roof directly above the barn doors and when we went up to refix them we discovered that the iron nails had rotted on a lot more slates so we stripped them back to good fixings.

This showed that the battens and rafters weren't in best shape for about 8 sq metres so stripped and replaced them with new, along with roof felt.

Most of the Buttermere Green slates were in good condition and we also had a crate of the same type of reclaimed slates as spares.

This is how cold it was working up there. Ice in the gutters

But a lovely view whilst working...

Got finished slating about 1500 so just to make good the gable wall tomorrow.

Very satisfying being able to do-it-ourselves!

Regarding the bypass - they tried to get it years ago, but the route would have cut through the golf course - so with most of the parish councillors members, that one obviously didn’t get the green light!

They’ve tried to reroute it through the Avon Valley - and hopefully that will never happen.

The trouble with a bypass is that when it’s built they just fill the space in between the bypass and the A Road with houses, and with no extra infrastructure, so you end up with 10 times as much traffic on the A road as you had before!

Having said that we take our life in our hands every time we try to get out of our road onto the A4! Traffic lights would be my ideal - to help us get out with our lives intact and to slow the traffic down on the A4. Ah me - if I ruled the world………

A couple of photos I've taken today

A very large conifer in my daughters garden that could not cope with the storm.

What I call the lightening tree at the end of the drive

A dove posing on top of the bird feeder.
