COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING SHED
Annie Wicking I’m afraid that the other day I was joking with you all, the picture was an old one I had saved and it was just meant to be a fun thing with the shark.
Matron Someone sent me the pic years ago and when I saw your garden I couldn’t resist using it.
EB I can’t really say about the flood in the picture because as I say it was just a fun thing I had and not really from around here.
The Weaver of Grass I don’t know if there are minerals in the snow or not, I suppose there will be stuff in it that it collected on its way to earth.
Jeanette There are no doubt some that would welcome the flood and the shark, at least they would probably still have a home even if it were a bit wet.

I guess I knew that about your shark. They don't like fresh water and as for eating cars a big no, no for them. Boats are a favourite with the great white according to the film Jaws ....lol
Great photographs, I could do with being lost on the moors with my camera.
How do you do with catching moles, Bob? We have permanent traps down and the farmer goes round them every day - probably catches on average one a week. I see you are already pruning your roses - we dare not do that for another month, although my Alexander Girault climber on the calf house is in full leaf in spite of the cold.
The absence of moles is one of the consolations for living in a town, with a town garden. I remember my grandfather almost in tears as he counted more than 80 molehills in our front garden when I was growing up (they would have been in the back too but there were hens and pigs there). He tried using traps but he was too soft-hearted to try hard enough!
Bob. Your photographs today are near to where we live - we walk often at Keld - lovely area.
Thought you would be interested - in The times today it says that many stately homes with famous gardens are expecting huge losses of tender plants with this bad winter - it cites Devon and Cornwall as being worst hit. If I remember last time it was a bad winter Geoff Hamilton (that tells you how long ago it was) said leave everything at least for the summer as often plants which look dead eventually revive. I don.t suppose people with gardens open to the public can afford to do that.
