If being being tied down is de rigueur ..for something full of crap..I'd be trussed up like a Turkey at Christmas _most_ of the time..

I'd be more worried about you containing an old welder, a non-starting mower engine, a seized-up bicycle and my old mattress, plus a lot of other stuff I keep in there... :p

I am more afraid of weather next Saturday as I plan to go fishing somewhere between UK and France. Afraid they chicken out to go at sea at all.

I hope you all realise this spell of hot weather is because I lit my Rayburn last week....but at least it's warm enough in the house that I don't need light the log burner on an evening. Anyway, it's pretty sunny and calm here today....

I was up OH's allotment this afternoon. No end of weeds in flower up there, even though several sharp frosts have killed off a lot of the tender stuff, and the recent storms have flattened all the bean cages & wigwams....

That looks more like a potato than a Knotweed (the knotweed has more pointy leaves and a red stem with reddish veins in the leaves, and are a barsteward to get rid of), could be wrong though, but get digging the thing up (as in, a few feet down) anyway just incase it is... :)

The head gardener 'Mrs Ponti' Thinks that it is probably a runner bean.It is only a few inches from where we had them.Whatever it is I was suprised to see it growing at this time of year.
I will be checking it later though just in case.:-)

Temperature sliding down here, 8 degrees at moment, was wet and windy yesterday, yet strangely saw a new stinging nettle growth with flowers on it yesterday.
