Plenty of time to decorate when it's cold & raining...

Welcome to the Vine Corris

[bethduckie]

Hello there Corris

[mrbadexample]

Congratulations and welcome.

[Corris]

Blimey!

Hello Beth!

[bethduckie]

I am also here, lurking and learning, and thought ooooh, I recognise THAT person! hehe

[Corris]

one of the benefits of using the same name across more than one forum I guess - never occurred to me that I'd find a friend on here though.

[bethduckie]

Well I don't post much (as you can see, 20 or so posts in 9 months lol) becuase I don't actually know enough to offer any advice yet... but I read most days and it's a mine of information.

Hi and welcome to the vine.

[Corris]

I'm IN!

It was THE most stressful time, but now I am the proud owner of an awful lot of nettles and blackberry bushes and thistles..... it's far far worse than I remember. And bigger. Although I've never yet made it to the bottom of the garden in any direction because you just can't get there.

Right, off to post my first question.

You will have loads of friends on here!! (even though you already know Beth). There are several of us grapes in and around Norfolk too.

good luck with the daleks

Congratulations!

I suspect the answer to your first question is; Strimmer - Petrol - possibly with blade on instead of cable! Good luck!

[Corris]

Thanks again for welcomes - we have found one fenceline and stripped the weeds in front ready for painting with preservative, installed a gate to access the footpath along the back of the garden, and hacked out way to the old goat pen, which is actually a fairly big shed and will be transformed into a chicken run in short order.

The daleks will b released when OH returns to work, otherwise he'll have the kittens - best he doesn't see.

I'm going to hack a path to a hedgeline on the main plot and just pile everything up and leave it in a heap for now.

Right - off to ask about wormeries.

[rustylady]

You have been busy! It sounds lovely - fancy having a goat pen in your back garden. I'm jealous.

[Corris]

ah well actually I've been nursing a knee which has had surgery yesterday - youngest daughter found the fenceline and OH installed the gate this afternoon with me sitting watching - but I'm having the credit.

I knew there was a pen there, but hadn't been able to get to it - but it's a shed, about 7 foot by 7 foot I think, with a bench along one wall, and it's in a totally enclosed erm, 6 foot chainlink fence pen. So I shall just modify the shed, reroof it and then I have my chicken run.

I have to ask the chicken ladies about what to paint the shed with and how to modify it - but I'll have to recover a bit more before I get up any ladders.
