This was definitely a surprise earlier, Tilly had just left and i knew I'd been a bit quiet and not able to articulate what I meant but I'd put it down to weather created headache and tiredness. I never feel well normally and always feel 'off' in the 7's and pretty damn unwell with the 6's unable to think, respond/react, shaky, feel odd and very ( Read more... )

These are definitely jobs for Tilly at the weekend! 😛 The washing line has been whalloped by the gales and rains of the other night which have tipped it! It's also now tipping towards the path so I just know that someone (my father), won't be looking carefully (my father), and smack face on into it (my father) 😂 There's no garages now, the trees ( Read more... )

More estate weirdness here, the estate are actually painting my cottage external walls for the first time since I moved here. The walls have never been done, the front windows in 2004, the rear never in 15 years. They Never warned me whatsoever and there was a guy outside the bedroom window, a step ladder immediately behind the loo window and a ( Read more... )

Tilly called in Friday evening to do even more repair work on the garden. The horse has eaten Every branch from the back of my beautiful holly tree! I thought she was looking a bit bare but never once thought that the horse would be daft enough or bored enough to eat a holly tree! Because she had eaten the holly she was now able to reach the ( Read more... )

Wiltshires delivered today, he was shocked by the garden having not seen it before, also knows that I can't say a thing about it, the damage, my plants, trees, destroyed or damaged, left outside, no help offered or apology. At the garden centre yesterday they had honeysuckle 'large' 4ft £39.99! To replace the value of the 35ft honeysuckle torn down ( Read more... )

The final version of the garden! The original was plant pots all around the edges of the fence, which looked gorgeous but became a full on all you can eat buffet with the culmination of Two horses polishing off the garden at 4.30am! So the pots were moved along the stepping stones but they always looked quite put there in a slightly out of place ( Read more... )

The other night before we switched the garden around again i looked out of the back door to see the hanging solar light in the tree swinging like mad. I was just about to yell 'Oi! Leave my garden alone' when from just outside of the back door and right next to the fence just a few years away a man's voice went "Don't do that!". I was shocked, I'd ( Read more... )

I am definitely feeling very unsure about here. I have ten windows in my cottage and now not One of them has a view I recognise. Not one of them has privacy from estate staff now either. There is not an inch in the garden of privacy either. And all my plants and trees are either cut-down, in the wrong place, or eaten by the horses. As has been the ( Read more... )

Friday evening Tilly came down and we have the garden changed again as the horses have eaten everything they can eat. He's had to move things out from the fence but with the 9ft fence gone the winds howl across the garden. Saturday we got the lawn cut and it's looking good out there. The winds have picked up tonight so this will be the test of the ( Read more... )

This lovely old toy car was found when the fence was removed here. I finally finished cleaning it up today and posted it online to see if anyone could identify it. Sadly it's been in the ground several decades so the chassis where the manufacturer and model are listed is totally destroyed. Another key feature missing is the radiator grill which is ( Read more... )
