Brighton Heads

| 2nd August 2017

It was our Silver Wedding back in 1998 and I bought Peter a pair of terracotta ‘Brighton Heads’. I’ve been trying to find out how they got their name, but I might have to revise my ‘Google’ search technique as I keep getting referred to websites about Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club managers!!

Yesterday I bit the bullet and began to weed my ant infested flower border. By the time I’d had enough the back of my hands were red and blotchy and burned, just like a nettle sting.

Big Mistake!

Grass

| 6th June 2017

When you come to think about it ‘grass’ is everywhere. Gardens, parks, traffic roundabouts, church yards, sports fields, roadside verges, in fact it’s hard to go anywhere that doesn’t have close proximity to ‘grass’ of some kind.

Well I might have started off with around 160 seedlings, but I’m afraid that’s not how many plants I’m going to finish with.

In 1986 we bought a house on Willowfield Drive in Halifax. It had a decent sized garden and it was there that we did our first ‘proper’ gardening.
