To me, a wall is a self-supporting boundary built of some solid material such as bricks, stones or concrete blocks. If a continuous boundary is created from living bushes or trees, that’s a hedge (if it isn’t continuous then it’s...

Fiacre Banks @fleura I certainly wouldn’t be paying the builder. I have seen similar edifices in similar disrepair and they seem to be neither this nor that.

I am not kidding. I wish I was. Yesterday Trump was taking questions on the White House lawn and was asked if he had any preference for who should be the next pope. Of course he said that it should be him. He had to say that...

The attached photo is one I just took looking out my back patio door facing the back yard of my house. As you can see, we have a lovely berm with evergreen trees just behind us. This is especially nice given that we're in the...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville I’m letting my lawn just grow. I don’t plan spending retirement mowing just to have grass grow again so I have poppies and cornflower etc growing up among it.

I was wondering how many of you had heard the phrase “peachy keen”. It means something is wonderful, or going well. Someone may ask you how you’re doing, and one replies “peachy keen”. It’s also used to be sarcastic if things are...

Fiacre Banks @ambiepam Never heard of it. A common way here of replying to the question “How are you doing?” is “Sticking out” or “I’m flying on the pig’s back”.

I've been to the big Tesco again this afternoon. I went on my own again, and it was very hot so I didn't wear a coat. I've also stopped wearing a jumper in favour of a blouse. When I got there I got a trolley, and then I went to...

Fiacre Banks @sharonelton I’m quite well thanks. Drove up to Carrickfergus and a bit beyond to buy clothes for holiday for our daughter. I hate clothes shopping but I also needed some myself and it put me in a bad mood. It was too hot here - 21 degrees which is marginally...

The photo above depicts the reason for my current pondering. Among my yellow pansies blooming away merrily in a tub and annoying nobody, a potato plant has sprouted. This can happen if you don’t lift all the previous year’s crop...

I love rhubarb. It is extremely easy to grow. In fact, if you are not careful it will take over your entire garden. It is for this very reason that we grow ours in two large pots. We had them on the patio and that was...

Fiacre Banks @looeyville know when to hold them, know when to fold them. The gambling industry banks on people not having your self discipline.
