Monday 24th May

What a lovely evening & bbq with Janet & David & Co

Tess needed a cuddle to keep warm

OK - "Someone" left the gate open

But after the goats had finished, with Tina's advice I pruned the lemon tree

hoping for a good shape in the long term

Not a good day at all

Thursday 20th May

Pouring with rain

So Tabatha decided to come in & take shelter

Forthcoming attractions!

A good job done by all on Keith's copper bottom

And many thanks for the party to celebrate

Kevan & Paul enjoying the walk home

A visit from Lizzie (or Lez) the Lizard

To put this in context the tiles are 34cms (thats 13" in old money)

Note the legs of its poor unfortunate lunch!

I said a 'visit' but if it prefers to say that we are staying in his place - that's fine

New expanded Tortusvill

We have given the little guys a lot more room to roam as they grow

Visitors always welcome

No admission charge

Free parking

Thursday 13th May

I am sorry to have to inform you that the praying mantis decided to end it all

and went back into the pool

We were too late to rescue the poor thing this time

RIP

A photograph seems inappropriate on this sad occaision

Just looked back at last night and PM stuff...

Is David Cameron's number plate really

"WAIO DAO"

How do you say that?

Wednesday 12th May

Just when you thought you were watching a news channel...

Paul rescued this praying mantis (?) from the pool this morning

He/She (did I read that the males are really small?) is drying out nicely.

No Comment!

David is on his way

The youngest Prime Minester for 200 years!

Good luck & watch out for the goats

Tuesday 11th May

He said "Thank you and Good Bye"

For Lachlan & Austin

As soon as I came off Skype I took this picture for you

So this is how it looks today!

Monday 3rd May

After & Before

It may be hard to see the devastation in these pics, but at least it is obvious that the roses have gone....

& most of the little orange tree that has had so much blossom this year
Two nights away on the boat - that's all..
F***ing Goats...

Friday 30th April

Paul has completed his latest project

Laying plaka (crazy paving) round the trees

The weeding was just too much to cope with

Will try and find a pic of what it looked like "before"
