It will eliminate having to carry endless cans of water over the hill during warm weather.
We had a look into the fleece of Elstar and Empress yesterday, and both are very nice - Empress's has developed amazingly in 8 weeks, developing great character in crimp and staples, while keeping its original brightness, lustre and softness.
We've discovered a group of ladybirds camped in a knot in one of the gates for a couple of weeks. Most of the time, with the gate shut, the latch keeps them sheltered, they are only exposed when I open the gate:

| Now you don't! |
Happy tappy. We also have ladybirds seeking shelter.
ReplyDeleteGreat title...had me intrigued!
ReplyDeleteBarbara, hope you didn't imagine me Line Dancing with alpacas? Sometimes the title can be more interesting than the post!
ReplyDeleteA water standpipe - another job we need to do one of these years and before someone's knuckles start dragging on the ground with carrying watering cans! Shirley & Robbie
