First proper frost this morning. Hoping for a sparkler today. -
Cold day at the emporium of learning today. Soil pH testing, turf replacement and hardwood cuttings. No work in the lovely warm glasshouses today.
-
Ha. Haven't seen them for ages. I gave Roy my btsport password when they had the Downton shop, so he could watch Spurs, then forgot when it closed down. Couldn't watch it myself for ages until he reminded me at the Cuckoo Fayre.
-
You probably know Anne and Roy from the Cottage Loaf then?
-
Did you play locally jy? Or move down here?
-
Sounds like you need a pro in, not a bunch of chancers.
-
All twelve of us can come over and use your gaff as a case study.
-
I've now come to an arrangement cutting next door's. Refused to take money, so I now mow for beer.
-
Even I could do that, but it'll be dark when I leave Sparsholt tomorrow.
-
Beka needs a new gardener. The last one was a bit pricey.
-
It's beautiful now. Cut the grass at lunchtime.
-
Yep, the cloud is clearing and the Sun is out. Happy days.
-
Cloudy and cool today. A gang of long tailed tits have just visited the bird table to find not much, so it was time to clean up the feeders and charge them up. Peanuts, Niger seeds, Seed mix and fat balls now await.
-
Loads going off on Salisbury Plain, but that's the other direction.
-
It's alright here. Was lovely first thing. At least it's not raining.
-
Sun is trying to come out now. Told everyone who'd listen on my walk to ignore the apps and that it should fizzle and clear by lunchtime. Tomorrow I shall walk like a God amongst men.
-
I get my annual cut in there too jy. Heavier rain has now reached here, so I'll get a soaking wandering down to borough in an hour, or so
-
Correct so far Andy, for us at least. Good call.
-
Found the church. It's nr Bransgore, on the way to Christchurch via the back road.
-
Ah right. That's a different All Saints Church, but I recognise the thatched house. That's on the borough in Downton.
-
I thought we were ok for Sunday. I'd already written off Saturday.
-
No, cos it doubles as a cow field, which is full of cow ****. So the ammonia reading for the still water that I'd be testing would probably go off the scale . I have to test the same site every week for it to be a fair test. It's the carrier that runs from the Britford water treatment plant to the fish farm. Further readings are taken by others South of the fish farm. If it's still flooded next week (it will be), I'll invest in some wellies.

I'm not on Facebook. Can you post a pic here?
-
I never knew he sold chickens, or that he lived in Lover. He specialises in old buildings, as far as I know. I think he fixed our church lych gate last month. Saw the van up there. Just been over to try and get a water sample from the Avon, for my weekly testing, but the path across the water meadow is flooded. Can't see that improving for a while.
-
SJ Butt? If so, I see their vans around. We're not quite in Downton. Next village along. We have my in-laws descending this year, but I'll be kicking them out early on Boxing Day, when we head for a beach walk. Done it before, much to their annoyance, and I'm more than happy to do it again.
