Paola Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Lovely house Lesley I saw a complete rainbow for the first time in ages last week. It brought back memories of my childhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SarahJo Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Great pics Lelsey - agree with Kate, at what might be at the end ( ) - the end of the rainbow just misses the and - . Love the quail - really sweet. Hope the rain stops soon getting a bit fed up with it now - even my cherry tree has started to turn red .

Egluntyne Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Well.....if you read your bible a rainbow was sent as a sign that the flood was over so let's hope that history is repeating itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Latest from the farm........ We checked the bees on Sunday This frame shows the cells being made ready and some have larvae in ready for capping....... This frame is already capped - new bees in 20 something days.... Jazz has found a way to keep using her - too small - basket! The veggie garden..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theherd123 Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Jazz was trying to kidnap one of my shoes Emma - Carl and I chased her round the kitchen to get it back That is one blessing we have! Poppy isnt into shoes! But she does like plant pots (full or empty), drain covers, tub trugs, climbing on the garden table, licking the dishwasher , humping Teddy - should i go on?

The Dogmother Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Thanks for sharin that with us Em... at least the dishwasher is spared the indignity of being humped! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheilaz Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Great pics Lesley, so pleased to see them, thanks. Aw Jazz, you look so sweet & innocent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 Licking the dishwasher - why do they do that? Jazz's favourite - even more so than shoes - is socks. Carl is always tucking muddy socks into his boots or wellies - Jazz retrieves them - Carl chases Jazz and reclaims his sock............ and appears to stuff them behind whichever cushion is nearest!

The Dogmother Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 When one of my cats was a tiny kitten, she used to try suckling from the dog - who was never that impressed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 George the cat likes to have his paw held when he is sat on knees, Jethro licks & washes Hattie until he then decides to attack her. All 3 tolerate each other. Hattie eats anything bar cat food.... she came that way as a rescue cat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Biscuit is like that - he and Georgie (timid rescue cat) wash each other then he sinks his teeth into her - no wonder the poor lass is traumatised. He's a little rotter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Cats?........... how could you all turn my thread into one about cats? I don't like cats Carl's birthday yesterday - and he had just the best present ever - we heard from our solicitor that we had exchanged contracts on our house!! We've had a whirlwind 3 weeks as our prospective buyers were not in a chain and we gave our respective solicitors 4 weeks from offer to completion We complete on Wednesday. The 4 week deadline was not helped by a postal strike and a solicitor who put papers in the post to another solicitors office within the same town Both Carl and the buyer have had to help things along with a bit of cross country driving to make sure papers were where we all needed them to be It is such a relief! - to be free of all that debt, well, some of it anyway A bridging loan for 14 months is not to be recommended and has been a real strain to say the least. It was a risk we took to get the dream we'd been looking for and thankfully, it paid off. As we left our house fully furnished we now have a lot of packing to do and we've got a packed weekend with things arranged a long time ago and which we can't change. I'm sure it will all get done eventually - especially if I get off this forum and get painting the skirting boards before all the furniture arrives on Monday Someone asked about bees? - I've not been stung yet, I'm not overly scared of being stung though. If you have a real fear though you may find it difficult. It is scary when you open up the hive - every 7 days throughout summer. We have a beekeeper coming this evening to go through the hive with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
