One of our two neighbours does tend to have a lot of chainsawing going on and it always seems to be on a particularly sunny day when I'm dozing outside.Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-27323656417243401072011-06-05T14:47:47.038+01:002011-06-05T14:47:47.038+01:00At last!

Now, don't get me wrong: I love eating out of doors, but proper food, not barbecue stuff. I love poached salmon, new potatoes, salad, fruit, delicious cakes, and so forth, but what I don't like is having either underdone or singed food presented to me as if it were something delicious, which it most decidedly is not. I love to use pretty table linen, bone china, flowers on the table - what I don't want are plastic or paper plates and food dripping grease everywhere. So, let's hear it for food-out-of-doors but not for barbecues! As for the smell - yesterday on one of the hottest days this year, I was sitting outside and instead of the scent of roses came the pong of barbecue smoke and burned fat ... all I wanted was peace and quiet, the sound of birds, and the scent of lavender and roses ... is it too much to ask? <br />And don't get me started on all the machinery which men insist on using once they are let out into the fresh air ... power washers, strimmers, drills, mowers ...<br />There should be an hour in the day when these things must be used, after which there is a noise curfew!galanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14190356279359463949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-73649725205147020952011-06-05T10:51:30.593+01:002011-06-05T10:51:30.593+01:00Ooh, lovely photo... have been trying to figure ou...Ooh, lovely photo... have been trying to figure out where it was taken?

Good for my garden, and I believe rain will again find your side of the pond. :)))<br /><br />On a side note, I can't imagine not writing! I certainly see nothing wrong with spending time with imaginary folks. All this time I spend writing keeps me sane, grounded, even if I write about some pretty far-flung situations! :)))Anna Scott Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02744202738210301084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-25671769953502003882011-06-04T15:40:35.539+01:002011-06-04T15:40:35.539+01:00joanne - many thanks for your vote, much appreciat...joanne - many thanks for your vote, much appreciated.Deborah Carr (Debs)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03223653554549707595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-18117231941798435672011-06-04T15:09:51.926+01:002011-06-04T15:09:51.926+01:00Oh I was just in time to vote for your shed.
