NOTE
1) Although I have classed work in the old part of the conservatory as being indoors in actual fact its more outdoors than indoors due to the fact that although it has all its walls there is no longer any roof so I guess you could say that it was inside out.
2) Due to popular demand Bob’s Banquets are back. To avoid intrusion in to my work book I’ve decided to list the contents of my trough in its very own section so all those who are interested see below.

BOB’S BANQUETS
Breakfast: 1 mug of tea and 3 Shredded Wheat
Tea Break: 1 mug of tea.
Lunch: 1 mug of tea, 1 bowl of homemade leek and potato soup, 2 slices of bread, and 4 slices of malt loaf.
Dinner: 1 glass of peach juice and tonic water, mashed potatoes, peas, fish fingers and parsley sauce.

COMMENTS FROM THE POTTING SHED
Sara you will be pleased to see that taken heed of your wishes.

Jim The garden centre is only a couple of miles down the road, I did feel a bit guilty that it took me an hour actually but I checked out a few other things while I was there so it took a bit longer than it need have done. I’m glad you’re still enjoying the pictures from the Pennine Way. I’m not really sure what was going on with the roses, I don’t think they actually took anything just either left it on the floor or still half attached to the rose bush which has resulted in quite a bit of die back in places due to the fact that it wasn’t pruned back to a bud.
